application.setCurrentUserScene ( hScene ) is among the first commands you get to know while learning ShiVa. Called from a User AI, it loads a game scene for the gamer to play in. It is also the most important command when trying to change a level. Most games allow the player to walk through doors or into a certain area to change the level.
