MeshAssetTask problem

[Carharttguy]

Hello

I'm learning the AssetsManager, but I bump into this problem:

Quote

var meshtask = this._assetManager.addMeshTask(name, "", rooturl, fileName);
meshtask.onSuccess = function (task) {
    task.loadedMeshes[0].position = BABYLON.Vector3.Zero();
}

But one way or another, task.loadedMeshes doesn't exist. How is this possible?
Edit: I also should call .load first, but I don't think that's the problem here.

Thanks!

Hello,

What do you mean loadedMeshes doesn't exist? Is it undefined?

Here's the doc: http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/how_to_use_assetsmanager containing a sample on the PG: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#ZJYNY#0

Hi @davrous, thanks for your fast answer.
I found the problem. The error shown was something like this:
TS2099: loadedMeshes not found on IAssetTask. So i figured I should've defined the type of 'task' this way:

Quote

meshtask.onSuccess = function (task: BABYLON.MeshAssetTask) {
    task.loadedMeshes[0].position = BABYLON.Vector3.Zero();
}

And this works.

Wouldn't it be an idea to also have TypeScript examples in the docs? So the reader can choose which code examples are shown? I'm willing to translate the parts I can.
Also poking @Deltakosh for this.

Little side question: Why are the loadedMeshes abstract meshes? Is it safe to typecast them to meshes?

Yes it could be a good idea and actually we could even do it already.If you want you can initiate some: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Documentation
