Feature request Could we make the load function from assetsManager compatible with await?

Bugs
1

Hello,

I’m not sure if I’m making it right or not but how can we use async await with this ?
I tried it be it makes my code not working.

Is this implemented or will it ask some work to be done ?

The scene loader is async await compatible (Promise based),
Maybe that is what you are looking for?

I’m not sure I could use completely this.

Internally I use addMeshTask & addMeshTask to load every assets I have.

I can definitely add some promises on the AssetsManager.
Do you want something like that?

await assetManager.loadAsync()

That would be perfect !

Would you be kind to open an issue on our repo detailing all the xxxAsync functions you would like on the AssetsManager?

I could work on it this week

Sure, here is the issue : Feature Request - make assetsManager await compatible · Issue #5937 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub

I’m not sure we would need more async function from the assetManager.

I will work on that already :slight_smile:

ran into this as well… in the mean time doing… sleep is an async wrapped fn.

const wrapLoad = async () => {
      let loaded = false;
      const meshTask = this.assetManager.addMeshTask(
        entityId,
        "",
        rootURL,
        sceneFilename
      );
      meshTask.onSuccess = function(task) {
        log.debug(task);
        loaded = true;
      };
      meshTask.onError = function(task, message, exception) {
        console.log(task, message, exception);
        debugger;
      };
      this.assetManager.load();

      while (!loaded) {
        await sleep(10);
      }
    };
    await wrapLoad();
