BUG: wrong level loaded
by Pedro Vicente · in iTorque 2D · 08/14/2011 (12:52 pm) · 10 replies
Build: iTorque 1.4.1
Platform: Tried in Windows only; complete project attached.
Issue:
While trying to extend this resource to work with 3 levels I found some unexpected behavior. At this moment I am not sure if it is an engine bug or some incorrect use of the function loadSceneGraph, shown in the resource
Torque Minimal Template -- Part 5. Levels and sound
In this post I present the complete source code for a project that reproduces the issue.
The project has 3 levels:
Main menu: shows 2 buttons; each button loads a level
Level_01: shows a button to return to main menu
Level_02: shows a button to return to main menu
Issue is that pressing the buttons on the levels, loads the other level instead of loading the main menu level; this happens only at a second pressing of the buttons; running the Torsion debugger shows that the OnMouseDown event is triggered, but it somehow loads the level_02 instead of the main menu level.
Loading the project this level shows up:
Pressing one button loads this level:
Pressing the other button loads this level:
Issue is that after some level switching the level_01 button (that should load the main menu level) starts loading the level_02
This is the code for the button class that loads the main menu level

But the issue is that the code below is *also* called, the code for the button that loads the level_02. Question is: why is this function being called ?

a little bit of Torsion debugging shows that the issue is when the "home" button is pressed, this code here is executed, which is OK// .......................................................................................

Too much for me to debug here in the forum. I'll download the project to see if anything shows up in my debugging. I'm debugging two other users' projects right now, so I probably would not get to this today. If I do see something unusual from the forum, I will let you know.
