I have a voxel game similar to Minecraft. I have a funciton PushLoadedChunks(Direction) that pushes all of the loaded chunks forward, backward, left, right. This is done with sfd.BeginInvoke(PushLoadedChunks, null, null).
This works great until I fire two of these quickly, which happens if the user goes diagnol. It errors out because two threads are pulled trying to modify the same data, both writing to the same thing because they try to load the same chunks. I wanted to do something like this:
Create one standard thread and a queue to push through. Instead of invoking PushLoadedChunks, I wanted to add it to the queue and have that single thread work through each chunk one after another, proving to be slower performing but more stable code.
I am struggling because Invoke seems to wait for the chunks to return which works, but freezes my player until it is loaded. I need reference in creating a "queue" of sorts, or help setting up a single thread to run each method when they are called and wait until one is finished to do another.
Does anyone have any advice or resources I could look at to see the best way to complete my task?
