Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for the comments, This code was initially posted as a template for how a beginner might approach the creation of an event manager. I previously hadn't worked much on the ihrlicht engine but i'm more familiar with it now. I will update this code to use the irrlict linked lists, and break on a ...

hmmm, try moving your : "cameraController->updateCamera(); " outside of the beginscene/endscene area. Also it doesn't look like your camera got registered with the smgr? I'd do 2 things, remove your eventreceiver classes, to make sure the problems not there, and post your cameraController ...

I've been playing with the ieventreceiver nodes, and it seems i can only have one onEvent() active at a time, please correct me if im wrong. This annoyed me cause i didn't want an enormous onEvent code. So instead i created a EventReceiverManger Class, so i figured i'd share that code with you guys....

Perhaps a new camera class should be developed such that its position always reflected the coordinate system of its parent. So when the parent node changes its position or rotation, the camera's position, rotation, and target are automatically recalculated in the parent nodes co-ordinate system. I'v...

You would expect the camera to have its root target position at the root of the parent node, rather than the global root. If i were to setPosition( vector3df (0,0,0) ), the camera would move to the position of the parent node. but if i setTarget( vector3df (0,0,0) ), the camera looks at the <0,0,0> ...

Ah this can be easily done. Here is the code: scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNode(CarNode,core::vector3df(100,100,0), HeliNode->getPosition() ); And in your update loop: if (device->isWindowActive()) { ..... camera->setTarget(HeliNode->getPosition()); .... } Its good to note t...
