Hello everybody,

I was wondering if there is a command to unload all currently loaded content so a next map can be loaded. Blitz 3D uses 'clear world' for that.

Is there something similar in DB-Pro?


Thanks!

Regards,

I think theres a flush graphics memory or something similar.

This clears all objects, bitmaps and images, but not sound and music files (obviously, lol)

Failing that, you'll have to write a little function to do it for you.

Without Music or Love the world would be a very empty place... Thank god I still have music.. --'-<@

FLUSH VIDEO MEMORY is the one you're referring to.

You can use IF SOUND EXIST(), IF OBJECT EXIST() and iterate through the various entities.

I always have arrays associated with objects etc, to store additional data. In the array I store the entity ID number, so it's easy to account for everything.
