Map referencing by project

[YouGroove]

Would help to be able using project manager to declare all maps a project would use with possibility to add maps, drop maps (It would be relative to project path and mandatory each map would have a unique name).

And finally in Lua or C++ , you would have a simple command like LoadMap("Name"), that would free all ressources and scripts of current map, and would load the new map and scripts.

I don't get it. what is so different to this as loading by filename?

[YouGroove]

It don't work if you use Lua only and would want to laod a map in App.lua (specially with a map defined in your compiled Leadwerks.exe).

Last time I tried it I had no problems. (Which is a couple updates ago)

 

Have you tried this?

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/map/mapload-r510

[YouGroove]

function App:Start()

--Create a window

self.window = Window:Create()

self.context = Context:Create(self.window)

self.world = World:Create()

 

--Load a map

return Map:Load("Maps/start.map")

 

end

 

function App:Loop()

 

if self.window:Closed() or self.window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

 

Time:Update()

self.world:Update()

self.world:Render()

self.context:Sync()

 

return true

end

 

 

The idea would be to change map in the Loop function what don't works.

 

Well i already tested in Lua, it can't work, caus you compile Leadwerks.exe that have a LoadMap already, and Lua Loadmap don't work to change the map level. Perhaps in C++ you control really how maps load, but in Lua it is more complicated caus Lua uses Leadwerks.exe.

 

We discussed it there :

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/7739-lua-and-loading-maps-question/

 

And the post here is just to submti some idea for people wanting to make a complete project using Lua only without needding to code special stuff in C++ to have maps passed from Lua to Leadwerks.exe.

So it is just a suggestion nothing more

So this Script is also not working?
