Hello-

Over the past few months I have been creating lots of super awesome crazy behavior scripts for my game.
I noticed a while ago that if I leave my game running for 20+ minutes.. it will eventually completely freeze, and
give me an 'out of memory' error. At first I thought it was my screensaver that was causing it, but noâ€¦ it appears to happen if I have multiple behaviors running at the same time.

I was able to reproduce the error by doing the following:

First I create a simple cube in the editor that constantly moves in one direction on all 3 axis.

Then I create a second cube and attach this behavior to it:


/*
<behavior jsname="behavior_follow" description="Follow">
<property name="NodeToFollow" type="scenenode" />    
</behavior>
*/
behavior_follow = function(){
}
behavior_follow.prototype.onAnimate = function(currentNode){
var cubePos=ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(this.NodeToFollow,"Position");
ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(currentNode,"Position",cubePos.x+10,cubePos.y+10,cubePos.z+10);
}

This function is extremely simple, it only has 2 active lines in it, and when attached to an object, all it does is "follow" any object that you select.

So I tell this second cube to follow the first cube.

🔎︎

Now I create a third cube, attach the same behavior, and tell it to follow the second cube. I repeat this process until I have 60 cubes.

It will then look exactly like this.

This appears to be working as it should in WebGl.

But if I make an .APP or .EXE version of it, it will freeze up and give me the 'out of memory' error.

With 60 cubes, it freezes up within less than 2 minutes. The more cubes add, the quicker the 'out of memory' error occurs. And the less cubes I have, the longer it takes to occur.

I guess my question is: Am i doing something wrong in my code? Or is it a bug in CopperCube? Why does it work in WebGl but not on Mac/Windows?

I appreciate any and all advice.

Hm, difficult to tell, it could be that you have a memory leak somewhere in the code, and the browser engine can collect that while the windows exe version cannot. Can you maybe send me the .ccb so I can try and look at this?
