Steps to Reproduce

Spawn Entities at different distances from player and remove them afterwards

Ent_spawning := class(creative_device):
@editable GridSize:int = 10
@editable GenerateTrigger: input_trigger_device = input_trigger_device{}

var Ents: []entity = array{}
var GenerationCount:int=0
# constant or variable
# Runs when the device is started in a running game
OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    GenerateTrigger.PressedEvent.Subscribe(GenerateWEntity)

GenerateWEntity(Agent:agent):void=
    for(Ent:Ents). Ent.RemoveFromParent()

    if(SimEnt:=GetSimulationEntity[]):
        for(I:=0..GridSize-1):
            for(J:=0..GridSize-1):
                NewEnt:=entity{}
                MC:=Box_EDB0FEFA{Entity:= NewEnt}
                NewEnt.AddComponents(array{MC})
                NewEnt.SetGlobalTransform(transform{Translation:=vector3{X:=I*500.0, Y:=J*500.0, Z:=GenerationCount*550.0}, Rotation:=IdentityRotation(), Scale:=vector3{X:=1.0,Y:=1.0,Z:=1.0}})
                SimEnt.AddEntities(array{NewEnt})
                set Ents += array{NewEnt}
    set GenerationCount+=1

OnEnd<override>():void=
    for(Ent:Ents). Ent.RemoveFromParent()

Expected Result

All entities get removed.

Observed Result

Entities at a longer distance will remain on screen.
