And of course, if anyone else knows the answer, please answer! :) Thanks.
I'm taking a look at your tutorial here http://jonbeebe.net/hi-jack-optimizations but it doesn't seem to work. I put a print("hijacking") line in there and just commented everything else and it never prints to the terminal. Am I doing something wrong?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | g.oldRemoveSelf = g.removeSelf -- Let the hi-jacking begin: function g:removeSelf() print("HIJACKING") -- call the original removeSelf() function: --myObject:oldRemoveSelf() --myObject = nil end |
Hmm, I think I've figured out why this isn't working. I was under the impression that removeSelf() would be called recursively on all the children of the display group. It appears this is not the case. So if I use the director class, create an image and insert it into the localGroup, I can override the localGroup:removeSelf() and get the line to print, but overloading the image object removeSelf() doesn't do anything.
Am I just completely off base to think that removeSelf() worked recursively(coulda swore I read it did), or do I need to make sure to call removeSelf() on every child object in my director group before changing scenes?
Well, if anyone cares....to get this to work properly with director I had to manually call the removeSelf() functions. Maybe this is normal, but I really did think part of director's selling point was that if you put stuff into the local group it all had removeSelf() called on it and dumped.
I *thought* that's how Director worked, too, but I also think there was a change in cleanup from v1.2 to v1.3 -- which version are you using?

I'm using 1.3
