In our project, We have some resource trouble.
Same "src_file", but different UID/file_id given.

example.

weapon/aaa/sword UID(xxx, xxx, xxx. xxx) (a)
weapon/aaa/sword UID(yyy, yyy, yyy, yyy) (b)

Drawing with (a) will fail.
Drawing with (b) will success.
These files appears in EI.getElms(elms) both.
But (a) is not found in EE Editor.

Now, some data including (a)'s UID. So, It occurs runtime crash.
First, i want to remove (a) from our project. How should i do?
And, why do i got this situation?

(EE Windows Edition: Engine build 39, Editor Build 37)

Do you mean Erase Removed Elements in the "M" menu? it will remove all element that marked as removed, or you can also restore the 'removed' element by clicking the bin icon near search button and restore it.

Thanks for reply.

Resource (a) is missing in EE Editor. So, i cannot erase/remove the resource (a) by EE Editor's operation.
However, (a) appears in return value "EditorInterface.getElms();". Well then, maybe it can do some EE method (program), i think.

Is this related to Editor Interface? if so this might be a delete bug.

did you tried to clean the project ?
remove deleted ( because it doesnt do it by itself. ), you can see if its still there by enabling the "show removed" near the search bar of the menutree.

did you tried to import the project, into a clean installation of EE ?

Hi,

When you remove an element, it's still there but hidden.
You can show it by clicking on the "trash bin" icon at the top.
To completely remove the file, click "M" menu, "Erase Removed Elements".

When using "EditorInterface.getElms", you can check for "Elm.final_removed":

For your convenience I will add this option:
that will not list removed elements by default.

Already done and nothing to effort...

I'll try. Thanks.

Sorry, i cannot found in our EE version.

Hi,

"Erase Removed Elements" will remove that element completely,
However if you connect to Server to synchronize your project, it will download it from Server again.
So you need to call "Erase Removed Elements" on all of your developer clients, and on the Server to completely get rid of an element.

Can you tell me if you checked for "Elm.final_removed"?
If you encounter an element with "final_removed==true" then you can treat it as removed, and you can ignore it.

Quote:For your convenience I will add this option:

I meant that I will add this for the next release of the Engine.
But it will only get rid of the "removed" elements from the list.
Which you can achieve with the following:

Code:

struct Elm // Project Element
{
   Enum1<ELM_TYPE> type   ; // type of the element
   Bool            removed, // if this element is marked   as removed    (this does not include parents state which may affect the final result, see 'final_removed' for final value)
                   publish, // if this element is included in publishing (this does not include parents state which may affect the final result, see 'final_publish' for final value)
             final_removed, // if this element or  its parents are marked   as removed
             final_publish; // if this element and its parents are included in publishing

Checked.
"final_removed" and "removed" flags were FALSE at all our resources.

Engineer says, it might be forgotten "Erase Removed Elements" before.
If so, something our resource information had broken?

Hi,

Can you check what are the ELM_TYPE (elm.type) of the elements?
From your previous post I see:

Perhaps one element is ELM_OBJ and another ELM_MESH?

ELM_OBJ can be accessed by:
ObjectPtr obj=UID(..)
if(obj)obj->mesh(); // optionally access the Mesh

ELM_MESH can be accessed by:
MeshPtr mesh=UID(..)

In the Editor Project List, only ELM_OBJ is displayed.
ELM_MESH is hidden, because it's accessed from the Object Editor.

Objects are composed out of multiple elements/files:
http://www.esenthel.com/?id=doc#Object
http://www.esenthel.com/?id=doc#Mesh
http://www.esenthel.com/?id=doc#Skeleton
http://www.esenthel.com/?id=doc#Physical_Body
ELM_OBJ, ELM_MESH, ELM_SKEL, ELM_PHYS

Our engineer says, both of resources (a)(b) are MESH.
Additional information from him. On Android build, works (look like) fine. But iOS build crashes.

Can I remove the element by UID(a)? (by EE program or UID specified operation)

Hi,

Can you please send me (by Email or Private Message) the "Data" file of your Project?
I will investigate it and find the best solution for this problem.

When you start the Editor and are in the list of Projects:
-Right click on a project, select "Explore"
-Folder with Project files will be opened
-Please compress "Data" file with 7z/rar/zip and send it to me.

Thank you

To remove a specific element, you can use:
EditorInterface.setElmRemoved

But for ELM_MESH it's better to check first, if it's not referenced by any ELM_OBJ.
Which I can do for you after receiving the "Data" file.
