When I try to change levels on my game I am getting errors saying object already exists is there a way to clear the screen fully of all objects and have them re-render?

Thanks

Your problem is is that for one level, you already have a lot of objects loaded, but when you change to another level, you try to load other objects into the same object number.

i.e
level1:
load object "man.x",1

level2:
load object "machine.x",1

And this gives an error

Try to run something like this:



And, if you're running DBPro, add



after it to increase performance.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

It's better that you don't load and delete objects on the fly. Instead, it's best if you load everything on startup and when you want to change levels, you can just hide and show the objects.

And DBC also supports the "Flush Video Memory" command. It's best you put that command after you've hidden and shown all the objects for every level change.
