New script = new message thread?

[ustk]

@d-healey And my solution might not work in your case. Because on my side, the heavy stuff is in the same script thread. But in your case, it is a higher priority one. Test and report :)

@ustk It won't work for me because I need to repaint things (that script I linked too is not 100% the same as the one I'm using).

I assume the new BackgroundTask class is related to this thread? Can it be used to solve my preloader issue? I found an old old forum post where someone had the same issue.

[ustk]

@d-healey Yeah it is totally related. If I can build I'm trying today ;)

@d-healey I think there‘s a glitch that prevents the timer from being started in your case so spawning another thread won‘t solve it.

Is this reproducable with the code you‘ve linked?

[d.healey]

@christoph-hart I'll check and make a snippet

The above preloadBar code works. I've figured it's something to do with my paint routine, it has a loop in it so I'm investigating that angle now.

[d.healey]

Is there a way I can trigger the preload callback for testing purposes without just switching sample maps?

Sorry for misleading you!

Actually I think it is related, but in a different way. I made another project to test my preload animation and it works fine. I did some more tests in my main project and I think it's because I'm doing other things when the preset loads, those things are "blocking" the animation. So I'm thinking if I move those things to a background task it might solve it.

I finally solved my preload issue. Not 100% sure what is causing it but moving my sample loading into the post preset callback made it work.
