just delete them like this:

rem deleting objects 1 to 10
for a = 1 to 10
delete object a
next a

if you want a fast program just re-texture the matrix or edit it instead of deleting it and making a new one!

Something like this should work




and so on. but it really depends on how your level loading is set up, you may not want to delete everything, just the stuff you won't be using in the next level

you could just re-texture, re-position all of the objects acording to what you need in the next level.

Yep that's the best way, but I'm not releasing my general purpose game entity preload/spawn/bank/withdraw/delete functions 'till after the comp!!

but i will give you a hint, in the code snippet above, you'd replace the "delete object()" functions with my "bank_object()" ones, which doesn't delete the objects but moves them far,far away, then turns off their collision, and hides them and also attaches them to the static world just for overkill...

Aww now I gone and told you!!
Anyway, now you have to write the function to preload them and withdraw them when you want...
