I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I have something like this:
var thread
func game():
loading_scene = loadinganimation.instance()
add_child(loadinganimation)
loading_scene.get_node("AnimationPlayer").play("loading")
thread.start(self, "heavy algorithm that emits finished when it's done")
yield(self, "finished")
#print("got past yield")
loading_scene.queue_free()
game_scene = game.instance()
add_child(game_scene)
func _exit_tree():
thread.wait_to_finish()
The thing that I don’t understand is that the game scene never loads. If I uncomment the print line, it prints, so I know it’s not hanging at yield. If I directly call the function which I’m running on a separate thread, it runs (but causes the loading animation to freeze, which is why I’m taking it off the main thread to start with, it’s quite a heavy algorithm). Putting thread.waittofinish after the yield line also does not do anything.
Why is running a function in another thread caused me to be unable to instance anything when I get back to the main thread?
