MMF2Dev problem loading from disc

[Pegasus_Seiya]

Hello,

My App can not load files from file.. the case is:

I'm using a List and I'm trying to load a text file from AppData folder, using File object to find AppData folder.

It's work on first frame of the app, but on title screen of my game its not working with same way.

I'm using Windows Server 2008 logged as Admin, using MMF2 Dev

Thanks

If you are using the file object be sure to check for errors and clear the errors. If you encounter an error the file object won't do anything until you clear it.

There is no reason your idea won't work so without some more info its hard to tell whats wrong.

Hi

After put a timer to create a little delay on start frame(when file is loaded) it's look that is working fine.

thanks

Sometimes objects need at least 1 internal loop of MMF2 (thats one time going trough all events from top to bottom) to pass to fully work.

The best way here is to have a global value for loading. Then code your events, instead of trigger them on a button click or start of frame event you do something like this:

"Loading" = 2
- do things
"Loading" = 1
- do things - at the and set "Loading" = 2
"Loading" = 0
- do things - at the and set "Loading" = 1

Just make sure that the order of events is from the last step to the first step.

So in the first internal loop only the last condition "Loading" = 0 will be true, in fact you set "Loading" = 1 which would meand if the order would be 0,1,2 it would execute the event in the same loop. This way you make sure that MMF2 has time to draw and updates the frame and properly load all things.
