Hi,

I’m running into a little issue (i tried searching the forum without result), I will try to explain this as much as possible:

I have 3 QML files:

main.qml

level1.qml

level2.qml

—————-

main.qml has a loader that will load level1.qml or level2.qml

in both level1.qml and level2.qml i have

PhysicsWorld {

id:world

z:1

gravity:9

}

And because I have PhysicsWorld in both levels it causes a crash when I try to load level2 after level1.

However, If I put PhysicsWorld into the main.qml, crash does not happen but it creates another problem:

in both level1 & level2 there is a DistanceJoint pointing to “world: world”, and when PhysicsWorld is located in the main.qml DistanceJoint fails to work.

 

Am I missing something here?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

as your Level is no child of the PhysicsWorld (but instead a child of the Scene in your main.qml I guess), you cannot directly access the PhysicsWorld’s id in your Level. Please put an property alias in the Scene of your main.qml, pointing at the PhysicsWorld, to enable children of your Scene to access it. This could look like this:

GameWindow {
  //...
  Scene {
    id: scene

    //...

    property alias giveThisAliasANameOfYourChoice: world // also property alias world: world is possible
    PhysicsWorld {
      id: world
      //...
    }

    //...

  }
}

Then you can access the PhysicsWorld in your level with “scene.giveThisAliasANameOfYourChoice” and the DistanceJoint should work.

Cheers,
Alex
