Model.hm_wadlinesinit#

Model.hm_wadlinesinit()#

Initializes the WAD lines module. This must precede any calls to other Model.hm_wadlines APIs, and must be followed by a call to Model.hm_wadlinesend(). Any database changes made while inside of the WAD lines module will invalidate and delete any WAD results.

Returns:
