GeoMipTerrain update task/function argument error [resolved]

Scripting Issues
1

Hi, I’m trying out the GeoMipTerrain module have followed their code for Dynamic Terrain here: panda3d.org/manual/index.php/G … MipMapping.

However, I receive the following error for this code:

# Add a task to keep updating the terrain 
taskMgr.add(terrain.update, "update")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./panda.py", line 54, in <module>
    run()
  File "linuxroot/usr/share/panda3d/direct/src/showbase/ShowBase.py", line 2262, in run
  File "linuxroot/usr/share/panda3d/direct/src/task/Task.py", line 939, in run

  File "linuxroot/usr/share/panda3d/direct/src/task/Task.py", line 696, in __executeTask
TypeError: update() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given)

Is the task manager expecting a function with arguments? Can I avoid this?

Thanks for any advice,
Sam

I found it in the docs. Use extraArgs = [].

More precisely we have to call :

taskMgr.add(terrain.update,“update”,extraArgs=[])

Please mark as solved this thread. Is very useful.
