Check datablock in use by another item

[Lax]

Hi,

Is it possible somehow to check if a datablock is used by another item or entity?
I have the issue, that when an entity is deleted its datablock will be deleted. Yet there is another entity, that uses the same datablock when this being deleted, of course I get a crash, because the datablock pointer is crap.

Best Regards

You can use the HlmsDatablock::getLinkedRenderables() function to find all uses of the datablock.

Ok thanks!

For reference, a function like this is useful:

Code: Select all

    void destroyDatablock(Ogre::HlmsDatablock* block)
    {
      auto hlms = block->getCreator();
  
      for (auto renderable : block->getLinkedRenderables())
        renderable->setDatablock(hlms->getDefaultDatablock());
  
      hlms->destroyDatablock(block->getName());
    }
