nodelist.nodeAdded and nodelist.nodeRemoved signals lasts forever, if you do not call removeAll()

[Bulent OZTURK]

Hi everybody,

Today we had an interesting bug when trying to make a total reset for the game prototype we are working on then we find out that if we do not force removeAll() for the signals they remain there even after doing:

engine.removeAllEntities();

engine.removeAllSystems();

so we added;

nodeList.nodeAdded.removeAll();

nodeList.nodeRemoved.removeAll();

to the overridden removeFromEngine function in system.

Is this an expected behaviour and/or is there any other way to clean all signals for all nodes?

Thank you in advance

Hi

If you aded the nodelist listener, then it is your responsibility to remove it too. You are probably adding the listeners in the System.addToEngine() method. When a system is removed from the engine, its removeFromEngine method will be called, and you should remove your nodelist listeners there. I forgot to do this in my asteroids example, I'll add it shortly.

Thank you Richard, we already did what you suggest but we were wondering if there is a way to remove all signals from a single call. Thank you again for your fast response.
