How can be removed scene still existed?

almunsaah

Hi guys، I'm new in godot and games development (I'm old programmer), I use c#, but have strange problem, I don't know if it is bug or missed understanding, I have "pause menu" scene when you click "new game", "pause menu" becomes invisible (because I need it for all levels, no need to remove and reload it every time) and you go to cutscene(very short), when you return to"pause menu" after finishing cut scene or you aborted it( cutscene prepared itself for deletion using "Queue Free()"), and I see through " remote" in editor, cutscene is removed completely, problem is when you click"new game" again, I try to goto the scene again but nothing happens and output panel give me a message "scene Is already being loaded. Cyclic reference?", while " pause menu" work perfectly, all jobs inside "pause menu" work, any one can help or explain,, thank you

Welcome to the forums @almunsaah!

How are you removing and loading/instancing the cutscene? When you click "new game", is there code to spawn a new cutscene if one does not exist?

I have one main scene to load /remove scenes/cutscenes, today I checked my code, godot has cached copy of my scene, for that the error "Cyclic reference" appears, godot documents say that resource loader will use cached scene automatically، clearly it doesn't, how can I access cached copy or removing it.

There is a .import folder, which may be what you are looking for. Imported resources are cached there generally.

Thank you for sharing( :) , but the problem was managing scene, you have to choose right time to add/delete scene(wait scene to finish then remove it), this problem came from my traditional programming background where step after step, while in games development many things happen together ,I really learned a lot about godot from this problem, do you know when you delete node, children of node stay in memory as "orphan" nodes :/ , it's very weird behavior from godot, I'm wondering about wisdom behind this, it's just wasting for memory( don't forget I have traditonal programming background)
