| OK, I thought I could get rid of a camera by using FreeEntity, but I get an 'Object Does not Exist' error. I don't see a delete camera specific command. Is there something I'm missing? |

| FreeEntity works fine with cameras. Are you calling it from a function by chance? I get no errors at all. Even if I try to free a non existing entity. Which version of Blitz3D are you using? |

I'm using the latest version(1.83). I have a custom type holding the camera handle. The weird part is that I can unparent it (as I would any entity). I have it parented to a player model in the game.. All of this is occuring as I'm deleting all of the game pieces and jumping back into the main menu.Type T_Camera Field ObjectHandle Field minDist# Field maxDist# Field FogR Field FogG Field FogB Field FogMin# Field FogMax# Field CamPivot Field MaxRot# Field xRot# Field yRot# Field xRotVel# Field yRotVel# Field CamTarget End Type Function CleanUpGame() For Player.T_Player = Each T_Player FreeEntity Player\Rider\CurrentWeapon\ObjectHandle Delete Player\Rider\CurrentWeapon FreeEntity Player\Rider\ObjectHandle Delete Player\Rider For reticle.T_reticle = Each T_reticle FreeEntity reticle\ObjectHandle Delete reticle Next FreeEntity Listener Listener = 0 ;FreeEntity Camera\ObjectHandle EntityParent Camera\ObjectHandle, 0 FreeEntity Player\Ostrich\ObjectHandle Delete Player\Ostrich Delete Player Next ; Reset Flags MainMenuFlag = 1 MenuLoadFlag = 0 SinglePlayerFlag = 0 InGameFlag = 0 CleanUpGameFlag = 0 End Function |

| is camera a global variable? Also why do you have this
For reticle.T_reticle = Each T_reticle
FreeEntity reticle\ObjectHandle
Delete reticle
next
in the player loop. There is no point doing this for every player since they will all be deleted the first player that gets deleted. In fact I would guess that's the problem with the camera as well. If you have two players then the camera will get deleted the first time and the second time there won't be a camera to delete so blitz will (should) give an error. Basically you should only free stuff to do with the current type. Remove the listener from the loop as well. Freeing that more than once could cause errors also. for Player.T_Player = Each T_Player FreeEntity Player\Rider\CurrentWeapon\ObjectHandle delete Player\Rider\CurrentWeapon FreeEntity Player\Rider\ObjectHandle Delete Player\Rider FreeEntity Player\Ostrich\ObjectHandle Delete Player\Ostrich Delete Player next for reticle.T_reticle = Each T_reticle FreeEntity reticle\ObjectHandle Delete reticle Next for camera.t_camera = each t_camera FreeEntity Camera\ObjectHandle EntityParent Camera\ObjectHandle, 0 delete camera next FreeEntity Listener Listener = 0 |
