Possible Bug with datablocks and zoning
by Joshua Halls (Xerves) · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/03/2009 (2:59 pm) · 0 replies
Anyone have some zones setup that they can zone to and zone back from? We seem to be having some issues with datablock cleanup. I put in some output functions to see what datablocks are actually created at the time and this is what I am getting after I Zone in to Zone A, Zone to Zone B, and Zone back to Zone A in Beta 3
This is what it looks like in Beta 2
IDs aren't a big concern, but notice how everything is not properly loaded. The first time I load into the zone in B3 it looks like it does in B2. We are using quite a bit of modified code so I am again not 100% sure it isn't something we have causing the issue, but it wasn't present in B2 and is now in B3.
End result is the zone crashes when loading as there is a missing datablock on the Player Object.
