Irrlicht Engine

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that both destructors were virtual. I guess it makes sense though.
Anyway, admins - feel free to send my brainfart topic to the nether.

I was poking around the source and noticed something about the reference counter. The line that actually destroys the object in the drop function is in IReferenceCounter, which most classes inherit from. But does "delete this;" in the context of an IReferenceCounter object delete any memor...

This is most of the source. I've haven't included the classes but they only have the definitions of the variables and function prototypes. The project is barely beginning and I wanted to start with a basic GUI of my own. In terms of "not working" - I mean I get the "Do you want to sen...

Well, I tried that and it did not work. I also tried to have the Button objects created directly from the addButton function and then deleted by the destructor of the GUI object, but that did not work as well.

Prep GUI mygui; //the main gui object Button button(driver->getTexture("irrlichtlogo.jpg"),NULL,NULL,core::position2d<s32>(10,10)); //creates a button mygui.addButton(&button);//adds the button to the gui Main Loop while (device->run() && driver) { u32 time = device->getTimer()...

I was trying to create my own gui and decided to have all the elements in the gui drawn by the main gui object, so there is a simple function that calls draw2DImage with each element's ITexture*. The problem is that once that is in a separate function it no longer works. It works fine when the actua...

How can I turn a mesh toward certain coordinates?

How can I use alpha channel transparency with textures?
The 'textures' part is optional, I am trying to draw a 2d image with transparent edges

Because it is a RTS

I am testing some camera movement and I could not get it to work so I just copied the code from the movement tutorial and that did not work either. Here is the class class CameraMovement : public IEventReceiver { public: -------virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event) -------{ --------------if (camera != ...

I'm trying to create a freelancer-like movement
This is what I've come up with:


Do you have an idea how to do this?
There are a lot of vectors in it

The getRotation() function returns a vector3df.
How can I get the rotation in degrees (radians is fine too)?

I have a sort of hard to explain problem. I have a model that I load in irrlicht. The problem is that when I view it, the parts behind other parts appear in front of them... something like a screwed up zbuffer camera some object; other object ->................|.....................| ..................

How do you set an image (texture) to be the background of the entire scene?
I mean, if you have a space simulation, you would like to have some stars in the background.

You can create your own model files. Of course this means you would have to import them on your own, for which you need to know a lot about how irrlicht works. You will also be able to use some kind of encryption too. The other problem, except for manual import, you will need to write either a 3D mo...
