HI, I finished making a game, it had no problem (decent framerate, objects behaved as expected, etc) but it turned out i was wrong…
On my crappy 1GB Ram tablet, the game crashes after playing for approximately 5 minutes, at first i thought it was just the custom rom I installed because it seems to not handle android apps too well. But when i ran the game on my PC and checked the task manager, the game kept increasing in memory usage again…and again… especially when i was in the game scene which is arranged like this:
-game
– player
– enemy_spawner
— enemy_one_timer
— enemy_two_timer
— enemy_three_timer
— enemy_four_timer
– inverted_enemy_spawner
— (same child as enemy_spawner only inverted now)
– powerup_spawner
— (some child scenes)
– (more child scenes but don’t have effect)
When i removed the spawner nodes, the memory usage issue was gone and when i changed scene to the main menu, some memory even got freed.
But when I had the spawners (especially the enemy ones) the memory usage just kept increasing and even when i changed scene to the main menu, the memory doesn’t get freed
The enemy_spawner instanciates the enemy scenes and when the timer for the specific enemy runs out, it gets spawned and moves continueously to the right (inverted is to the left) I took a look at my enemy scenes (all are area2d, some have kinematicbody2d) and had them get queue_free() when it reaches certain cordinates but that did not make a difference, the memory usage still increases
I read this issue with the scene memory, indicating that i should free the previously used scene but i don’t know how to implement that on my stage manager script (from angegastudio flappy bird)
extends CanvasLayer
const GAME = "res://src/main/game.tscn"
const MENU = "res://src/main/menu.tscn"
var is_changing = false
signal stage_changed
func _ready():
pass
func change_stage(stage_path):
if is_changing: return
is_changing = true
get_tree().get_root().set_disable_input(true)
# fade to black
get_node("anim").play("fade_in")
audio_player.play("sfx_swooshing")
yield(get_node("anim"), "finished")
# change stage
get_tree().change_scene(stage_path)
emit_signal("stage_changed")
# fade from black
get_node("anim").play("fade_out")
yield(get_node("anim"), "finished")
is_changing = false
get_tree().get_root().set_disable_input(false)
pass
There’s nothing that jumps out at me as wrong from your description. Are you sure the enemies are getting freed? Can you share some of your code - especially the spawner and enemy scripts? Maybe then someone can spot what might be going wrong.

This is the script for one of the enemies
extends Area2D
var inverted = false
const SPEED = 4
func _ready():
set_fixed_process(true)
connect("body_enter", self, "_player_enter")
pass
func _fixed_process(delta):
if !inverted:
move_local_x(SPEED)
if inverted:
move_local_x(-SPEED)
if !inverted:
if get_pos().x >= 780:
queue_free()
if inverted:
if get_pos().x <= -50:
queue_free()
pass
func _player_enter(body):
if body.get_name() == "player":
if invincibility.invincibility:
sfx.play("hit")
particle.set_pos(Vector2(get_pos().x,get_pos().y))
particle.set_emitting(true)
get_node("/root/game/scorescn").points += 10
queue_free()
else:
get_node("/root/game/player").health -= 1
sfx.play("hit")
pass
This is the script for the enemy_spawner showing how it spawns the same enemy
extends Node2D
onready var onepck = preload("res://src/enemy/enemy_one.tscn")
onready var one = get_node("enemy_one_spawner")
var onescn
func _ready:
one.connect("timeout",self,"_spawn_one")
one.set_wait_time(3)
one.start()
set_process(true)
func _process(delta):
onescn = onepck.instance() # I might have moved this code to the _spawn_one function
if score.points >= 1000:
one.set_wait_time(2)
if score.points >= 2000:
one.set_wait_time(1)
func _spawn_one():
randomize()
var randpos = randi() % 1280
#onescn = onepck.instance()
add_child(onescn)
onescn.set_pos(Vector2(-10, randpos))
# every other enemy have the same code of function in this script
