DS Kihaku has mentioned the following:

wait(3);
level_load(s_level);
wait(1);

The wait(3) BEFORE the level_load solve his problems.
If I have time today I´ll play around a little, too.

I have tried that also. Didn't work for me.
My main level works just fine. Its just the others that I change to.

I´ve played a little, this one works for me.

==================================================

string level_str = <testlevel.wmb>;
string level_str_2 = <testlevel_2.wmb>;
string newtonLevel_cls = <testlevel.cls>;
string newtonLevel_cls_2 = <testlevel_2.cls>;

function main()
{
freeze_mode = 1;
warn_level = 2;
wait(3);
level_load(level_str);
wait(1);
dll_handle = newtonHandle;
NewtonAddMap (level_str, splashscreen);
wait(3);
freeze_mode = 0;
mouse_mode = 1;
mouse_pointer = 1;
mouse_range = 1000;
while(1)
{
mouse_pos.x = POINTER.x;
mouse_pos.y = POINTER.y;
wait(1);
}
}

function levelchange
{
freeze_mode = 1;
warn_level = 2;
wait(3);
level_load(level_str_2);
wait(1);
dll_handle = newtonHandle;
NewtonAddMap (level_str_2, splashscreen);
wait(3);
freeze_mode = 0;
}

on_space = levelchange;

======================================================

I hope this is a part of what you need.

Thanks fogman,
Your method definitely works for an on_key method.
Whats strange though is if I assign a player impact action to an invisible entity calling your function, the objects fall through the floor in the next level.

Sorry, it´s to late for me now, but be sure, tomorrow I´ll take a look.
I want to learn as much as possible about the 3dgs Newton version,
so it´s helpful for me, too

Now I´ve the same problems. It falls
trough the floor after level load.

I play a little with it.

[edit]

Duuhh, it´s a bit "spagetthicode", but it works.

The theory: Events calling functions in another kind as key-assigns...
Look at the manual at events.
When I was reading that, another way to call the function came into my mind...

I´ve an action on an entity, by an impact it calls a function.
This function set a variable to 1.

Another function, it´s called by main(), contains a while loop.
It´s checking if the variable is set to one.

--> while(variable == 0){wait(1);)

After that comes the new level load.

So you must call the level load indirectly, not with an event....

I hope you understand that all

Hi Daedelus, you dont understand my germlish, so I try to explain it
with code...

//===============================================
string level_str = <testlevel.wmb>;
string level_str_2 = <testlevel_2.wmb>;
string newtonLevel_cls = <testlevel.cls>;
string newtonLevel_cls_2 = <testlevel_2.cls>;

var impact_active = 0; // you´ll need this variable to check the event - call

// Here´s my main():

function main()
{
freeze_mode = 1;
warn_level = 2;
wait(3);
level_load(level_str);
wait(1);
dll_handle = newtonHandle;
NewtonAddMap (level_str, splashscreen);
wait(3);
freeze_mode = 0;
mouse_mode = 1;
mouse_pointer = 1;
mouse_range = 1000;
levelchange(); // The levelchange must be called in main()
while(1)
{
mouse_pos.x = POINTER.x;
mouse_pos.y = POINTER.y;
wait(1);
}
}
//=========================

//Here is the action of my levelchange entity:

action impact_test
{
while(player == null){wait(1);}
my.enable_impact = on;
my.event = impact_event;
}

//=========================

//On impact, this event is called:

function impact_event
{
if(impact_active == 1){return;} // is the value of the variable "one" ? Then return.
impact_active = 1; // if not, then now the value is "one".
}
//============================

//The levelchange function checks the value
//of the variable:

function levelchange
{
while(impact_active == 0){wait(1);} // Here it´s checking, after that begins the level load
sleep(3);
freeze_mode = 1;
warn_level = 2;
wait(5);
level_load(level_str_2);
wait(3);
dll_handle = newtonHandle;
NewtonAddMap (level_str_2, splashscreen);
wait(5);
freeze_mode = 0;
mouse_mode = 1;
mouse_pointer = 1;
mouse_range = 1000;
}
//===================================

So you don´t call the function directly with the event.

You use a variable as "switch" to turn the levelchange
function "on".

You´ve to call your levelchange function at gamestart
and it´ll wait until the variable is set to 1.

Thanks Fogman,
Sent ya a pm.
Can't wait to test this out when I get home
