Transition to a scene that uses Modules

Hi Guys,

I have a game where you can switch to levels from a menu.

The level you switch to (a game.lua file) requires modules with display objects. Like so:

[lua]local bar = require (“bar”)
local basket = require (“basket”)
local bullet = require(“bullet”)[/lua]

The problem is that I don´t find a way to purge the entire game.lua file, display objects from it´s modules bar, basket and bullet included when I change back to the menu.

I tried muddling the seperate modules (bar, basket and bullet) into a storyboard scene themselves, but that didn´t work as could be expected.

Any help on how to use the storyboard to purge the display objects from modules required by a scene so that you can switch back and forth between the menu and the game.lua file ?

P.S. the Storyboard Forum was not displayed in the forums field options when creating this forum topic, so I posted it here.

If you make sure you add all of your display objects(which can be displayGroups as well) to the storyboards scene.view then it will take care of the clean up for you.

I usually end up a non-local group that i stick into the scene.view on the createScene event. All other groups/objects get inserted into that non-local group. I gather some people would say it isn’t the best way but whatever. It works with no issues.

So you make the group = scene.view a non local group and add the display objects from other modules to it ?

Sounds like a good idea, I´ll try it out. Thans ! [import]uid: 126207 topic_id: 29731 reply_id: 119357[/import]
