rendering entities and models ?

[dennis]

Hey guys,

 

is it possible to render and load things such as the water when the scene starts? (so when you enter the water it will not freeze for a sec)

or just to make it for the player more easy and faster to load?

 

Cheers!

 

I made something myself but it isn't working. what it has to do is: save the current location of the player.

 

This is the code:

 

if KeyHit(KEY_LALT)==1 then
		DrawText("Saved position")
		Print("Saved to: save.lua")
		function savegame()
			SaveFile = io.open("abstract::save.lua","W")
			if SaveFile == nil then
				Notify("No settings file found")
			end

			SaveFile:write("fw.main.camera:Movef(".."fw.main.camera:SetPosition(fw.main.camera:GetPosition()))".."\n")
			SaveFile:close()
		end

end

You could load the water material files using LoadMaterial while you show the loading screen.

were do I need to place that code ? between, the:

 

While KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)==0 do
LoadMaterial("abstract::water.mat")

end

 

or before that after the:

 

LoadScene("abstract::scenename.sbx")
LoadMaterial("abstract::water.mat")

?

Before the main loop, and before the LoadScene, where you display some loading screen with DrawImage.
