rootNode.attachChild in onAnalog

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hi Guys…

My game is occasionally crashing with the exception

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2
    at com.jme3.util.SafeArrayList.get(SafeArrayList.java:258) 
    at com.jme3.renderer.RenderManager.renderSubScene(RenderManager.java:683)

which i understand is because i have been changing the scene graph out-side the main update loop… (im in process of fixing these)

But according to to the wiki i can only make changes in

“only in Control.update(), AppState.update(), or SimpleApplication.simpleUpdate()”

So what about onAnalog and onAction?

public class RealTimeStrategyAppState extends AbstractAppState implements ActionListener, AnalogListener{

    public void onAnalog(String name, float value, float tpf) {
        app.getRootNode().detachChild(line1);
    }

    public void onAction(String name, boolean isPressed, float tpf) {
        app.getRootNode().detachChild(line1);
    }

}

Is it ok for me to change the scene graph here?
Or is this bad as well?

Yes, it’s ok. All Input stuff is processed on the update thread as well.

Technically if you dont start a Thread nearly anything is on the MainThread.

If you have multithreading make use of App.enqueue
