Load Multiple Scene Files .txscene [SOLVED]

by Aaron Scovel · in Torque X 2D · 06/28/2011 (1:33 pm) · 2 replies

I use to be able load a second txscene and have it appear above the the previous txscene (overlay / pause menu / etc), but for the last few days I've been pulling my hair out to achieve this with no luck. The working demo's I had previously made to showcase this feature got lost during my hd failure a while back.

I'm using CEV4

Basically after loading the first scene I load another .txscene file 

Game.Instance.SceneLoader.Load(@"datalevelsoverlay.txscene");

Am I missing a crucial step?

Debug shows the scene being loaded and the objects are registered. I can manipulate the scene objects, change position, layer, visibility, etc, but no matter what, they're not actually visible. I have also disabled collision just to make sure.

I know it can be done (or use to) - Here is a link showing others doing this.

    OK I'm still at this and it appears that in any given scene-view only the first scene that is loaded is visible, the second scene loads, but its not visible. My game is a static board game (both scenes load with the same coordinates)

    I don't remember having this issue last time I achieved this

    SceneLoader.Load(@"data\levels\Diamonds.txscene"); // visible
SceneLoader.Load(@"data\levels\level.txscene"); // not visible (loading in a different folder?)

    I could really use some help with this guys, Ive spent almost 3 full days with no luck.

    This code supplied by Will O'Reagan fixed the problem. Thanks Will!

    static public void setToSceneGraph()
        {
            T2DSceneGraph graph = new T2DSceneGraph(); ;
            foreach (T2DSceneCamera _cam in TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.FindObjects<T2DSceneCamera>())
            {
                T2DSceneCamera temp = _cam;
                if (_cam.SceneGraph.Folder != null)
                {
                    graph = _cam.SceneGraph as T2DSceneGraph;
                    break;
                }
            }
            foreach (ISceneObject2D obj in TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.FindObjects<ISceneObject2D>())
            {
                obj.SceneGraph = graph;
            }
            foreach (T2DSceneGraph _graph in TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.FindObjects<T2DSceneGraph>())
            {
                if (_graph != graph)
                    _graph.MarkForDelete = true;
            }
        }

    SceneLoader.Load(@"data\levels\Diamonds.txscene"); // visible
SceneLoader.Load(@"data\levels\level.txscene"); // visible
setToSceneGraph() // Call this after each scene load
