Freeworld()

[Swampdonkey]

A question about Freeworld(world).

 

My apps starts up code consists of making several pivots for the cameras and what not..

Does calling freeworld() remove all these helper entities I created outside of the actual scene node being loaded?

 

For example if i create a camerapivot then call myWorld=loadscene() then later on freeworld(myWorld) does my camerapivots or any other help entites i created get wiped as well?

 

Also does manually freeing entities as a map is running effect the freeworld() command at all? Im getting a flury of crashes when calling freeworld()

In my experience the pivots are deleted since they are part of that world. This often results in camera and player controls no longer working. You could make the pivots part of a group. Instead of freeing the world go through every entity and delete all object that are not a memeber of that group.

Hi Aggror,

 

Considered doing that but how will this effect the outcome of loading a new world scene into memory? Continuing my search but just off hand is there way to return the worldID of a given entity?

You could create those helpers in your own class or function, and then just call them again, as soon as the free world is called.

My bad, just completely misunderstand how the scene and world commands handle stuff.. I was thinking scene loading was the world but it's not.. All is good. ty for the advice.
