I have my own state system, but I’m not entirely sure how to fully stop a scene from updating or being rendered, and deleting it in general. I’ve tried scene.Remove() but that doesn’t do much. How do I completely stop and delete a scene?

How to properly clean up a scene

Generally the application always owns the scenes in Urho3D, the engine doesn’t. Node::Remove() removes from parent, but since scene has no parent that has no effect.
In Angelscript, to destroy a scene, you must null all “strong” handles ( @ symbol ) pointing to it. In Lua you would call the destructor ( scene:delete() )
You can also call Clear() on the scene to delete all components and child nodes, then you could re-use and refill it with new content.

I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

I can’t get it to work, the scene still isn’t being deleted. Strong handles are no fun.
