How can I interact with imported Mesh?

[Polpatch]

Hi guys, (I'm so sorry for my English)

 

I'm new in babylon's programming and I'm in trouble.

i'm importing a local Mesh with the method:

 

BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("him", "models/Dude/", "dude.babylon", scene, function(newMeshes){		

		scene.cameras[0].setTarget(newMeshes[0].position);


		scene.getMeshByName("him").scaling = new BABYLON.Vector3(0.07, 0.07, 0.07);  //this work

	});


scene.getMeshByName("him").position +=10; //scene.getMeshByName("him") is null

 

In the function's scope of the argument (function(newMeshes){...}) i can interact with my Mesh (if i inspect the scene i can see it).

 

However out of that function i can't reach it.

How can i interact with this imported mesh?

Hello and welcome!!!

 

this is because the ImportMesh functions is asynchronous. Which means that the function returns directly and will be fullfilled afterwards.

You saved my life, thanks a lot!

 

So i can resolve that with a  loop like this:

/*import mesh code*/.../******************/while(scene.getMeshByName("him") == null){}scene.getMeshByName("him").position += 10;

right? (I can't test this now)

Yes or even better:

 

BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("him", "models/Dude/", "dude.babylon", scene, function(newMeshes){        
        scene.cameras[0].setTarget(newMeshes[0].position);
        
        scene.getMeshByName("him").scaling = new BABYLON.Vector3(0.07, 0.07, 0.07); //this work

 

      continueMyCode();
    });
 

Do whatever you want to do in a function called continueMyCode() instead of directely after calling ImportMesh

Yeah, you are right. But Probably I have to interact different mesh between them.

I wanted to understand why I could't find the imported mesh out of that function.

I will use each the way. Thanks again
