--how do I delete an old entry with a different unique ID?--
So I didn't think that changing the Unique ID on the "Magic->Metamagic-> new version of Elemental spell acid" would be an issue, until the old one and the new one both show up in the list of options and I can't figure out how to delete the old one (I thought when I changed the unique ID it would populate instead of create a new entry with the new ID)
Whoops...

(Also: Is this a new question and should be posted as a new one, or since its related to this particular area of HL makes it part of this thread?)

Restart HL. Once a Unique ID is compiled and placed into memory it can't be removed without a restart of HL. Once you restart the old one does not exist and does not get complied.

To have a new thing replace an old thing, go to the new version in the editor. In the right column, underneath the buttons, you should see a "Replaces Thing ID" field. Enter in the unique ID of the old thing (the one you wish to replace) there.
