Irrlicht Engine

tried stringw X; atoi(X.c_str()) it doesn't work

Thanks BlindSide
Ogre had a nice way to do it but this is even easier than Ogre

something like in a space simulator where you see 2d graphics that follow friendly/enemy ships to help track them)

how does one project a point from the scene on to the screen

DavidJE13 your right that's pseudo code for how things used to be but I changed things in the mean time . DrawViewport(int Frame) { if(Frame == 0) { setVP(1); sceneManager->DrawEverything } if(Frame == 1) { setVP(2); sceneManager->DrawEverything } if(Frame == 2) { //setVP(3); sceneManager->DrawEvery...

the way I have it

beginScene()

setVP(1);
sceneManager->drawAll
setVP(2);
sceneManager->drawAll
setVP(3);
sceneManager->drawAll
setVP(4);
sceneManager->drawAll
setVp(5);
guiManager->drawAll

endScene();

how do I endScene after the last render?

I`m trying to draw multiple viewports on screen. The problem is I don`t want to update the viewports in each beginScene() cycle. I.e each viewport gets updated once uponatime. However on each beginScene all the viewports get cleared so it all white until the viewport is drawn again If draw a viewpor...

The emitter is *not* the particle system. Neither is the node the scene manager. Can you set as emitter something else then an IParticleEmitter ? Its a faulty line of thinking IMO. Anyways I`m using Irrlicht as it is and I have another question. Is there a way to control the particle billboard rotat...

Well if you create a scene node with addSceneNode() you dont then later call SceneManager->setNode().

I'm not going to discuss too much about the code design but it seems that there are redundant calls at times (i.e. when creating particles), making things needlessly complicated scene::IParticleEmitter* em2 = ps2->createBoxEmitter(...); ps2->setEmitter(em2); // this grabs the emitter scene::IParticl...

works with fith vp

I have 4 viewports and I want to display a gui in each viewport. How do I do it. I tried having a fith viewport covering all 4 viewports for gui but I couldnt get it to work. I also tried to display the gui in each viewport but with this method I cant get the input(mouse) to work

Is there a way to set two emitters per particle system, or two materials per particle system. I.e I want to imitate fire and smoke and I need a texture for each. I dont want to use two ps per each fire. Also how do you get smoke, the fire is a yellow texture fading into black. If I want black smoke ...

thanks, that works

The tutorial doesn`t explain too well the emitter params. Is there a method I can set the speed at which the particles come out?
