RPG Zoning

Well I've just spent 3 day trying to figure out how to load a new map after zoning from a previous map. I'm not 100% sure this is the best way. I took the destroy script and revamped it like so.



function MoveToNewMap(%MapName)
{
// Delete the connection if it's still there.
if (isObject(ServerConnection))
ServerConnection.delete();

// Call destroyServer in case we're hosting
destroyServer();

// Clean up any client-side stuff left over
MoveToNewMapCleanup(%MapName);
}

function MoveToNewMapCleanup(%MapName)
{
if( isObject(ClientMissionCleanup) )
{
ClientMissionCleanup.delete();
}
clearClientPaths();

// Terminate all playing sounds
if (isObject(MusicPlayer))
MusicPlayer.stop();

// No longer worried about lag
LagIcon.setVisible(false);

// Dump anything we're not using
purgeResources();


//SHOW CUSTOM LOADING SCREEN OR SOMETHING

schedule(5000,0,"loadNewGameMission",%MapName);
}





function loadNewGameMission(%Map)
{
Canvas.setCursor("DefaultCursor");
echo("~/data/Maps/"@%Map@"/Mission/"@%Map@".mis");
createServer( "SinglePlayer", expandFileName("~/data/Maps/"@%Map@"/Mission/"@%Map@".mis") );
%conn = new GameConnection(ServerConnection);
RootGroup.add(ServerConnection);
%conn.setConnectArgs($pref::Player::Name);
%conn.setJoinPassword($Client::Password);
%conn.connectLocal();

}


This the only solution that I've tried that didnt end up with the engine crashing, me having duplicate ServerConnection.

It looks like i also had to place the loadNewGameMission in a schedule to avoid something like a race condition where if i execute that function too fast i get engine crashes at different locations in the code.

What do you all have to say about this. Is there a better way?

Also I'm looking to see if the 5000 in the schedule can be brought down to something in the milli seconds.
