How do you delete a model?

[Scott Richmond]

Hi,

 

I need to be able to completely remove a model instance from a running LE game during runtime via C++. Any ideas? I've tried .free() and it seems to do nothing. I've tried deleting the pointer object, but I don't think Model has a comprehensive destructor setup.

Help?

Have you tested this?

 

Model m;
m.Load("abstract::mymodel.gmf");
...
...
...
m.Free()

If I'm not mistaken, LE is managed. So the garbage collector kan kick in whenever he wants... Just call Free when you don't need it anymore, when all references are gone and the garbage collector does his work the memory will be freed...

Have you tried Free(m); where m is your model/entity?

[Mumbles]

.free should do it... I have no problems at all using the procedural FreeEntity command. I believe though you have to call UpdateWorld (or whatever the OO version is) after freeing an entity before it actually will properly unload...

What are you expecting it to do? Freeing an entity deletes it.
