[SOLVED] [2.0] need_reload() issue

[cinetec_tech]

hi :

   in the editor_nodes.h script . around 1620 line

		update_nodes();
		select_nodes(clone,1);
		if(n != NULL) select_node(n,1);
		else select_node(new_node,1);
		engine.editor.needReload();

why it's engine.editor.needReload() instead of engine.editor.reload ()?

in our case, we need need_reload in our update loop to detect  the nodes changes: like clone, delete, add ...etc.

but with engine.editor.needReload() we couln't detect the need_reload =1 so our update code won't be called.

Hello,

 

Different editor subsystems may reset need_reload flag, so another way you can go is to call engine.editor.getNumNodes every frame and check if node count was changed, then apply custom logic after that.

thanks Bob!

we will use your suggestion. hope in the future unigine could improve the editor callback to dectect scene change.
