solved dispose unused textures

[babbleon]

Hello,

I have this function to remove certain meshes & materials:

function removePiece(rand)
{
  var meshes = scene.getMeshesByTags('mesh' + rand);
  for (var i = 0; i < meshes.length; i++)
  {
    console.log(meshes[i].name);
    meshes[i].dispose();
  }
  var materials = scene.getMaterialByTags('material' + rand);
  for (var i = 0; i < materials.length; i++)
  {
    console.log(materials[i].name);
    materials[i].dispose();
  } 
}

I have added tags to the textures, but as we don't seem to have a getTexturesByTags it's probably not the right way.

Does anyone have a bright idea how do I go about removing textures?

Thank you,

Hello Babbleon !

I don't know about dealing with Texture only, but the dispose method of material accepts additionnal parameters to force the dispose of textures.
Take a look at : https://doc.babylonjs.com/api/classes/babylon.material#dispose

Great! Thank you @Amarth2Estel,

Works a treat. Solved!

function removePiece(rand)
{
  var meshes = scene.getMeshesByTags('mesh' + rand);
  for (var i = 0; i < meshes.length; i++)
  {
    console.log(meshes[i].name);
    meshes[i].dispose();
  }
  var materials = scene.getMaterialByTags('material' + rand);
  for (var i = 0; i < materials.length; i++)
  {
    console.log(materials[i].name);
    materials[i].dispose(false, true);
  }
}
