Emptying a model from a Scene Node

[iamtehpwn]

Suppose After combat, the enemy dies. In order to make it disappear, You'd usually use node->remove();

However, suppose I don't want to remove that node, I just want to clear the model that it has loaded out of memory, so that I can reuse that variable again to load a new model.

So put simple, I want to make the model disappear, without getting rid of the node variable itself. Is this possible, and if so, whats the best way to go about it?

if you want to keep the model use node->setVisible(false)...
but if you want to delete the node (like you sayed) just use node->remove() (like you sayed), the variable still exists then and you can reuse it to load another one...
node->remove has no affect at the variable itself !!!
