dispose of all meshes in a loop does not work

This playground makes 9 meshes and tries to delete them all at once in a loop.

It does not work.

Am I missing something? I defeated the problem via this unholy function ...

function deleteAllMeshes(scene){
    var countMesh = 0;
      scene.meshes.forEach(function(m) {
          countMesh++;
          console.log(m.name);
          m.dispose();
      });
    console.log(countMesh + " meshes deleted");
    var x = countMeshes(scene);
    if(x > 0) { deleteAllMeshes(scene); }
}  

Here is the output of the unholy function proving only half of the meshes are deleted per function call.

thanks! i appreciate your showing me the light. I guess I will have to change my functions to use your method, but in every case except disposing of meshes it seems to work with "scene.meshes.forEach"

Is there a reason why your method is more reliable?

The problem with foreach is that it cannot work if you modify the array (which is the case everytime you dispose a mesh :))

Hi, 

Old topic but this helped me !

 However, is there a way to do this without "disposing" the ground, as it's a mesh too ?

Because I have a scene where I can create boxes and spheres thanks to 2 create buttons, and i'd like to press a clear button and have all my meshes deleted except my ground.

Thanks for your time

Simply add a condition

if(!ground) meshes[i].dispose(); // If the mesh is not a ground, delete

Thanks a lot ,   I should've thought about that !
