| Can someone please confirm that when I delete a custom object, it deletes any sub-objects? eg. given... Type vec field x# field y# field z# End Type Type player field speed% field siz.vec field position.vec End Type player1.player = New player player1\speed=10 player1\size=New vec player1\size\x=24.0 player1\size\y=4.0 player1\size\z=10.0 player1\position=New vec player1\position\x=48.3 player1\position\y=15.2 player1\position\z=74.6 ...then I can do... Delete(player1) ...and not have to worry about... Delete(player1\size) Delete(player1\position) Delete(player1) Right? |

| I don't believe so. There is no garbage collector in Blitz3D, so what you allocate - you must delete. |
| ||
| You must delete sub-types as well. |
| ||
| Yep, you have to explicitly delete all type instances - unless you use the 'Delete Each myType' maxim. |
| ||
| Okay. Thanks. |
