Scott Richmond Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hi, I need to be able to completely remove a model instance from a running LE game during runtime via C++. Any ideas? I've tried .free() and it seems to do nothing. I've tried deleting the pointer object, but I don't think Model has a comprehensive destructor setup. Help?

Roland Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Have you tested this? Model m; m.Load("abstract::mymodel.gmf"); ... ... ... m.Free() Quote AV MX Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoLogic Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, LE is managed. So the garbage collector kan kick in whenever he wants... Just call Free when you don't need it anymore, when all references are gone and the garbage collector does his work the memory will be freed...

Andr3wHur5t Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Have you tried Free(m); where m is your model/entity?

Mumbles Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 .free should do it... I have no problems at all using the procedural FreeEntity command. I believe though you have to call UpdateWorld (or whatever the OO version is) after freeing an entity before it actually will properly unload...

Freeing an entity deletes it. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
