FreeEntity question

[ZeroByte]

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before.

 

When i call FreeEntity

 

if(KeyHit(KEY_DELETE)) {
if(pick.entity != NULL) {
FreeEntity(pick.entity);
pick.entity=NULL;
}
}

 

is there a way to free the physics body ?

 

I know there must be a way, or i'm just blind.

Since a model is an extension of the body class, and models are entities -> Would freeing a model entity not also free its associated physics body?

Well, i delete the windmill model in my app, but the physics body remains.

 

I have tried changing entity type also, but the physics body is still there.

You are deleting a mesh that is a child of the model.

Hmm, well i can mouse pick any model and it happens.

 

So what should i use to delete the physics body ?

 

Or is the mouse pick the problem ?

 

Thank's.

You should try to get the parent of your mesh and check if it is a model.

In that case you can use FreeEntity and it would delete the complete model.

 

 

This code should work, if your entity is a model:

if(KeyHit(KEY_DELETE)) 
{
       if(pick.entity != NULL) 
       {
           TEntity parent = GetEntityParent(pick.entity);
           FreeEntity(parent);
           parent=NULL;
       }
}

I don't know how C++ works but with Lua it's done this way:

repeat
			if pick.entity:GetClass()==ENTITY_MODEL then
				break
			end
			pick.entity=pick.entity.parent
		until pick.entity==nil

Ok, so i need to delete the parent, thank's for the help everyone.
