Cloning multiple meshes

[Alex10]

I try to clone the same mesh, but for some reason, the mesh is cloned once.

How to clone the same mesh many?

var loader = new BABYLON.AssetsManager(scene);
dom1mesh = loader.addMeshTask('dom1', "", "/static/game/dom1/", "dom2.babylon");
mesh = new BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
mesh.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 5, 1, 5);
dom1mesh.onSuccess = function (task) {
    var nm = task.loadedMeshes[0];
    nm.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(10, 1, 10);
    nm.parent = mesh;
 };

mesh1 = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
mesh1.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 15, 1, 15);
dom1mesh.onSuccess = function (task) {
    var nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone('2');
    nm.parent = mesh1;
};

mesh2 = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
mesh2.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 25, 1, 25);
dom1mesh.onSuccess = function (task) {
    var nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone('3');
    nm.parent = mesh2;
};

mesh3 = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
mesh3.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 35, 1, 35);
dom1mesh.onSuccess = function (task) {
    var nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone('4');
    nm.parent = mesh3;
};

Hello and welcome!

this is because dom1mesh.onSucess is a callback. You override it every time you set it.

var loader = new BABYLON.AssetsManager(scene);
dom1mesh = loader.addMeshTask('dom1', "", "/static/game/dom1/", "dom2.babylon");
mesh = new BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
mesh.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 5, 1, 5);
dom1mesh.onSuccess = function (task) {
    var nm = task.loadedMeshes[0];
    nm.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(10, 1, 10);
    nm.parent = mesh;


    mesh1 = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
    mesh1.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 15, 1, 15);

    nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone('2');
    nm.parent = mesh1;

    mesh2 = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
    mesh2.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 25, 1, 25);
    nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone('3');
    nm.parent = mesh2;

    mesh3 = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 8, 2, scene);
    mesh3.position = new BABYLON.Vector3( 35, 1, 35);
     nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone('4');
    nm.parent = mesh3;
};

Ok I understand, but what if I clone the mesh in different parts of code?

For example, in the multiplayer game when there is a new player I need to clone already loaded mesh. And it is only the first time cloned.

Not sure to understand your question, but if you need to clone it elsewhere, just save the source in your code.

How can I clone without callback? Because I don't know how many go players. So I need dynamic cloning.
I have a game used to synchronize websockets.

scene = new BABYLON.Scene(engine);
loader =  new BABYLON.AssetsManager(scene);
var createScene = function () {
    .  .  .
    enemy = loader.addMeshTask('enemy1', "", "/static/game/", "name.babylon");
    .  .  .
    ws = new WebSocket(wsUri);
    ws.onmessage = function(event){
        var msg = JSON.parse(event.data);
        if(msg.e == 'new'){
            var newPlayer = new Player( msg.x, msg.y );
            newPlayer.init(msg.id);
        }else if(msg.e == 'move' ){
    .  .  .
    loader.load();
    return scene;
}

And every time the server receives a message via the web sockets that a new player:
 

function Player( startX, startY, is_local ) {
    .  .  .
    this.init = function (name, bot) {
        mesh = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere(name, 16, 8, scene);
        mesh.material = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial('texture1', scene);
        mesh.material.diffuseColor = new BABYLON.Color3(0.7, 0.4, 0.5);
        mesh.material.alpha = 0.5;
        mesh.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(50, -3, -10);
        enemy.onSuccess = function (task) {
            var nm = task.loadedMeshes[0].clone(name);
            nm.parent = mesh;
        };
    };
    .  .  .
}

But cloning is triggered only the first time, in all other cases there is only a sphere, without a model.

This is more about javascript and less about babylon.js BUT please provide a sample on the PG and I'll help you setting this up

[Alex10]

Ok. Spawn function needs the interval to clone the mesh.

But there's only one skull loaded. I assumed there should be four skulls?

Sorry I wanted to do things too quickly

Thank you, I understand everything I can load only through these callback.

[GameMonetize]

This is because loading is asynchronous. But once loaded you can start using your code from the callback
