Irrlicht Engine

Great Help also Great Idea!

ThX yet Again

1. Does this issue also show up in the Translation and Scale Functions for nodes?

2. How can I change the nodes Axis without effecting the node?

Thx

If I make a mesh using IAnimatedMeshSceneNode or IMeshSceneNode and I use the rotation parameter when calling addAnimatedMeshSceneNode does this rotate the axis of the model too? If so how can I load the model and rotate the model without effecting the axis? Also what if I call the nodes rotate ...

Thanks

After some huntingI found this handy function

getRayFromScreenCoordinates

ThX to all

Thx for the Help but I know that part

What I was looking for was how to turn the screen cords into the point where the first poly hits at that screen coord.

Thx

Alright here is what I am trying to do.

I have a camera that stays above and looks down at the character (Think Diable and RTS games). The angle of the camera does not change. So what I want is when I click somewhere on the ground mesh the character will walk there. From the colisition example it ...

Example 03. CustomSceneNode

For random numbers on linum search for man pages or on google for

srand48
drand48

Also you can use getpid to seed srand48 before getting numbers.

About your other problem make sure your make file links to the directory that has the compilled liberary for linux.

Hope it helps

BTW dont worry ...

I still think Irrlicht should be able to load the file. Also does anyone know how I could fix the file to work?

Thanks

I didnt make these models as I stated. I am not an artist. I want to know how I can get irrlicht to load the files. If the DX Mesh viewer can load the file then I think irrlicht should be able to as well.

I got this model from DarkMatter at http://www.thegamecreators.com/

When I tried to load the file I get these errors in the colsole


Unknown data object in x file: Header
Unknown data object in x file: Material
Index count per face not equal to face material index count in x file.
Mesh without ...

From the features page under character animation is says that when you load an .X file that the animation type used is Skeletal Animation. Is there a way I can change this to Morphing animations? If not does anyone know of a way to convert a .x file to a format will let me use morphing?

Thanks

If there is no error and you just cant see the model try scaling up. Thats my prob. 95% of the time with X file.

Hope it helps

I had a problem with gamespace but it was due to the fact that the model was very very small. Try when loading the mesh to scale it up. Stary with units of 10. Then 20, 30, 40, 100, 200. You will see it on one of those.
