Projectiles / Temporary Objects?

[DoritoX]

Hi there,

My idea was to well, "Shoot objects" in my game, however...i have no clue on how to do that, I mean, i can create meshes and i can delete them
but it would be heavy on the system to load meshes from the drive and deleting them again everytime a button is pressed.

So i was wondering...what would be the best way to handle this?

Thanks alot!

well if you load a mesh and add a scene node to scene and you remove it, you don't actually remove the mesh from the memory, so if you would add again a scene node with that mesh it would grab it from the memory, unless you have removed it by yourself from the memory.

This would be the way to go for deleting a single object, but you should probably try to implement a clean up routine every so many frames (or maybe every frame if you don't have to delete too many nodes)

You could implement something yourself, or use the deletion queue provided by the scene manager

I see, but....how do i even remove stuff from both scene (and RAM) anyways?

If you take a look at Irrbullet demos, it may shed some light...
