What is ScriptNode good for?

[MichaelK]

Since the new version of OpenNI, the context has to be made this way
in C#.

context = Context.CreateFromXmlFile(StaticConfig.OPENNI_CONFIG_FILE,
out scriptNode);

My question is: What is ScriptNode good for? Now I only get a warning,
that the variable is assigned, but never used :( Are there any
advantages, except the vendor information etc?

When I try to use "scriptNode.Info.Description.Version", the Unity
Engine crashes...

Hi Michael,

Nodes in OpenNI have a reference count, and when that count reaches 0 they are destroyed. The purpose of the ScriptNode is to hold a reference to all objects created by the xml script. This means you have the choice of when you'd like to release your reference to those nodes by calling ScriptNode.Release() or letting its destructor do it for you.

In C# the ScriptNode does not have an implementation for the Release-
function.
And when i try to access any property, the Unity Engine crashes.
So is there a way to prevent the warning, that the variable is never
used, to show?

Hi Michael!

We are unable to reproduce this crash here..

Can you please give us as much details as you can?
(Like what platform / os / unity version etc... you are using)

Thanks,
Ziv.
