SpiderBasic

hello everyone !

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to integrate Babylon.js into a SpiderBasic app and render it inside a ContainerGadget (like a viewport), instead of using fullscreen.
I’m loading Babylon.js via the HTML preprocessor, and I’m attempting to inject the canvas into the gadget using GadgetID() with EnableJS.

The issue is a bit tricky:

There are no errors at all

The code runs, but nothing is rendered

The canvas either doesn’t show up or seems to not attach properly to the container

working code :

Code: Select all

;!      }
;!    ]
;!  </HtmlPreprocessor>
