Switching between missions.

by Santosh Pillai · in Technical Issues · 07/25/2008 (12:15 am) · 8 replies

Hi,

I am switching between different missions in my game which causes a crash from time to time. The reason as I see to this maybe because of the fact that I am not cleaning up the missions which were loaded before in the game properly. Can somebody please tell the steps to cleaning up a mission, disconnecting and then again connecting back into a mission properly.

Thanks.

Anyone have an idea. I am dynamically loading stuff into the mission. Would deleting them and cleaning up the mission solve the problem?

It seems like you're using either TGE or TGEA since you're calling them missions but it seems like this could be your problem.

Hope it helps!

Okay I am doing this..... And am using TGE.....

disconnect(); // to disconnect from the current mission
MissionGroup.delete();
MissionCleanup.delete();
deleteAllInteriors(); // do delete all interior instances created dynamically.....
deleteBots(); // to delete all bots
RunMission(%missionname); // run the mission....

Still my game crashes... Am I missing out on something?

TGE is already setup so that things that need to be cleaned up between missions will be. What makes you think that is the source of your crash? I mean it could be, but most likely you will need to debug this in visual studio.

I noticed that if AI were spawned it caused a crash on mission change. This was TGEA, by the way,

I was not too sure on that. Hence, I thought deleting the missiongroup and missioncleanup may help. But I am not sure if that is actually the reason (or whether it actually is).

I will though check with the dynamic AI spawning.

Also I am having some problem switching between missions. I found the following link. But my game has a lot of interiorinstances being created dynamically. I am deleting those interiorinstances properly. But still I end up crashing my game when switching missions. Can somebody help me out?
