Irrlicht Engine

I did have driver->setAllowZWriteOnTransparent(true); which was making the node black if disabled the node just disapears. it seems to be a Zorder problem bc if i remove the room i can see the node from every side. I am using irrlicht 1.6 but ive made that many changes to it, it will be very hard to ...

So could that be a problem with my camera settings you think?

Ive just tryed that but still has the same effect.

Hi all

Ive been trying to setup a alpha mesh using EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR and EMT_TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA which looks great from 1 place. but if i move the camera closer to 0,0,0 the alpha channel changes.

Hi all
I havent used irrlicht in awhile and im trying to do 4 viewports all with diffrent color backgrounds. I no how to do the splitscreen but how would i go about setting each viewport with diffrent colors?

Thanks.

i just wanted to see if i could get the child from a scenenode without having to split the mesh up into aload of scenenodes but i guess i cant.
nevermind then thanks for your help anyway.

Hi xaddict

I not sure on your main question but as for the second one if you are using a FPS camera there is an option called "noVerticalMovement" just set that to true.

Well I stay with this Idea (I will try to convert my objects to b3d) any good convertor from 3ds and obj to b3d or ms3d.?
What do you reccomend as the best for irrlicht.


you could try Milkshape3D its cheap and it exports to B3d and its saves Ms3d files to. http://chumbalum.swissquake.ch ...

You can do this with joints... .ms3d files support joints and some others too (b3d maybe? someone else can weigh in here).

yeah b3d files do support joints.

Ok thanks i might just see about getting my mesh converted to bsp or one of the others. But i think i will try the meshbuffer first but how would i go about getting a a scenenode from the meshbuffer? or will i just have to create a custom node for that?

I would use something like this

1) If it's a animated node with bones you could set a bones name as "Fire_Point" then use:


//Set up Bullet
Iscenenode*Fp= node->getJointNode ( "Fire_point" ) ;
Iscenenode* bullet=smgr->addSphereSceneNode(5,16);
bullet->setPosition(Fp->getPosition());
Fp ...

I use lightwave to model and Gile[s] to convert the format to my3d or b3d models. i was just looking at the meshbuffers but i dont no how to use them (if thats even the right way of doing it). Its to bad you couldnt just use getMesh(id of child)

Hi All

i've loaded a single scenenode that when i created it had many children is there away to pull a list of children from that scenenode. These are NOT children that have that have been attached in the engine but in a model editor. I have tryed this:

core::list<ISceneNode*>::ConstIterator ...

thanks Acki you idea did work i just needed to play around with my code abit.

no didnt still dont work

I dont get it ive tryed tests and they all work but this just dont.
