I’m trying to keep the same scene when loading “levels”. This allows me to reuse asset containers. But weird issues creep up after some time, presumably because the scene is not in the same state. Removing all assets (assetContainer.removeAllFromScene()), meshes, cameras, lights,… is not enough. How…

Unfortunately, this sounds really hard to fix without a repo. It seems like something could be leaking in your experience but not to sure what :slight_smile:

It’s not really a bug, more of a question of how to use the same scene for multiple “levels”. We use asset containers to avoid reloading assets between levels, but they can’t be used with changing scenes. So we use the same scene for all game levels. But that’s causing issues because the scene has …

Maybe you can use Serialize and Parse like mentioned here to reduce time of scene switching: [image] Multiple Scenes with One Asset (glb) and Multiple Views (Scissors / Cameras) Questions Hey Qamelian - did you manage to share one .glb asset between scenes in the end? I’m…

Just commenting relevant code as @Takemura mentioned. Though you may need to be careful to make sure your scene hierarchy remains intact, by serialising and caching the content we want to be shared between scenes, we can then parse from this instead of reloading upon scene reinitialisation (apologie…

Another approach that might work would be to “reset” scene like here, just modify to your needs like not recreating AssetContainer etc.: [image] How to restart a scene in babylon.js? "RESTART LEVEL" Questions How to restart a scene in babylon.js? Hello everyone, I’m doin…

As far as I can tell, Ariel is just recreating the scene. I can’t tell what createScene does, but it’s returning a new scene, so I assume the original scene is disposed. If that’s the case, then all the asset containers would be disposed as well, and all assets will have to be loaded again. That’s w…

I’m not trying to preserve the hierarchy - quite the opposite. When the player goes from “level 1” to “level 2”, I want to remove everything from the scene, but keep the asset containers intact because the next level uses a lot of the same assets. class SceneManager { async loadScene(name) { …

This is not a supported feature but I think we discussed it several time @bghgary ???

I don’t remember exactly what we discussed. Resetting a scene back to original should be possible. If not, that seems like an issue. It also seems possible to implement something on asset container to move all the assets to another scene.
