NodeReferences in 2.15

[tolga]

Hi!

We use NodeReferences as a template for our objects and delete them after we are done with them. We do this repeatedly during the gameplay. In Unigine 2.10, we could do that numerous times. But in 2.15, when we delete the NodeReference once, the nodes or objects inside the NodeReference are gone forever (lose the reference) and we can't use them anymore. Hence, we get a bunch of errors. Is there a trick to this, maybe is there a way to create a copy?

Thanks.

Hi tolga,

"When we delete the NodeReference once, the nodes or objects inside the NodeReference are gone forever"
Sounds like normal behavior. Could you provide a small sample with that problem?

Best regards,

Here's a simple example:

String path = "the path to node reference";

NodeReferencePtr node1 = NodeReference::create(path);
// Do stuff with the objects inside.
node1.deleteForce();
node1.clear();

NodeReferencePtr node2 = NodeReference::create(path);
// Try to do stuff with the objects inside.
// KABOOOM!

Hope it helps.
