Loading Screen

iPhoneDevForMe

I am trying to add a loading screen to my game the way FMG has with his games.

When I press the button to go to a level, I spawn the loading actor and change the scene.

If I add a timer to change scene, the loading actor spawns but the game crashes. If I do not add a timer, the loading actor does not show up?

Anyone have any advice as to the proper way to do this? Thanks in advance!

I use a timer, like this:

Rule
When Touch is Pressed
-----Spawn Actor [loading graphic]
-----Timer After 0.1
----------Change Scene To: [whatever]

That's exactly what I did, but it seems to be crashing every time untill I remove the timer!

I will have to play with it a little though because my GS viewer seems to be crashing for no reason today and that might be the problem.

Thanks for the input! I at least know the logic is right now!

I am having the same issue. My game keeps crashing just after my load screen...

Did you figure it out?

You can spawn an actor before you change to the scene where the actor should appear? :-O
