[SOLVED] New Node not showing in Editor?

[Killer.Penguin]

I just don't get how Unigine works.., somehow when I create a new object or new node from the script, it doesn't show up in the Editor's window. (Even though I can access it via script.)

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,

Please, try to use engine.editor.addNode() function.

If it does not work, it would be helpful if you can send us your source code or test sample.

I kinda get the idea but just to make sure, can you help explain the different between:

 

node_load();

engine.world.loadNode();

engine.editor.addNode();

 

ps. Somehow I cannot access Unity's doc on the web (the ones in the link above) with my account. Can someone help me with this?

Hi Killer.Penguin,

 

 

engine.world.loadNode();  - add node to your world, but not to memory manager. So you need to delete it directly when it is no longer needed.

node_load(); - add your node to the world, to the memory manager, converts a node to its derived type. When you have no references to this node, it is automatically deleted.

engine.editor.addNode(); - the same as node_load(); + add the node to editor, so you can see it in Nodes hierarchy.

I see.. so I should always use engine.editor.addNode() so that my editor is always updated? (Just in case I need to keep the editor window open for debuging...)

 

Is there any down size to it that I should be aware of?

[Killer.Penguin]

I'm still Having problem on adding ObjectMeshSkinned into the world via coding.

I notice most people use add_editor() to do so, but I couldn't find where it is. Can you give me some pointer?

 

I've used many engines and this is so far the most undocumented one so far... T_T

You should have a deeper look into the samples. EVERYTHING is there...

[Killer.Penguin]

Yeah, but once I found something in the samples, I wanted to read about it. Then dang, I just couldn't search for it in the document...

 

so where the heck is this  add_editor() function?

Please, check the <SDK>/data/samples/common/common.h file. This function is on line 7.
