Say I’m in my level1.lua, and I need to spawn an object; but, I have all of my “spawining” functions in another module called “spawning.lua.”
When I call that function from level1.lua, where does the resulting spawned object “reside” for the purposes of removal later on?
Any concerns I should have about references? [import]uid: 73951 topic_id: 36126 reply_id: 336126[/import]
Any ideas? This is really important to the structure of my game. [import]uid: 73951 topic_id: 36126 reply_id: 143524[/import]
Hi @mort,
You might find the technique I outline in the following post to be useful. It basically lets you pass a display group as an argument to a function of another module, so you then know that objects created in that other module reside in a specific display group, and you can clean them up later from that group.

You’re welcome, always happy to help. Credit in your game would be more than I deserve, but definitely let me know when your game is finished and in the market, because I want to check it out and see what you’ve accomplished!
