Issue description
When you let kultar out of his cell it triggers a cutscene. Eventually when he tells you how to get out of there the camera is supposed to look at the trapdoor. However, if you destroy the trapdoor before triggering the cutscene, the camera points to the ceiling instead.

This is because Entities destroyed by scripts now get removed immediately since commit c116db5be0177c7f924f4ed42a30c067c9f628cb.

I've marked this as a regression because in 1.1.2 and AF 1.21 entities are not removed immediately, just hidden and the cutscene plays normally given the (most likely) reproduction steps.

However, reverting c116db and related commits is probably not the best solution as you can trigger the problem in 1.1.2 and AF 1.21 as well by saving and loading between destroying the trapdoor and triggering the cutscene. Instead, we might want to use the default entity position from level file (which we'd need to remember) for the camera script commands if the entity does not exist anymore.

I wonder if the immediate entity removal causes problems anywhere else though…
Steps to reproduce this issue
  1. Kill goblin
  2. Destroy trapdoor
  3. Let Kultar out of his cell
