Irrlicht Engine

If I can't get Irrlicht to run inside a child form of a MDI application in VB.NET, I may have to start over in a different language. Maby C#, but more likely C++.

I am starting to thinking that Irrlicht and VB.NET is a hopeless combination. I doubt C# would be any different. I really just needed ...

I did some further searching in hopes for some answers. I am still at a lost but this is what I came across. the following is a snipit from the .NET source where the irrlicht device prototype is implemented.
IrrlichtDevice::IrrlichtDevice(Video::DriverType driverType, Core::Dimension2D windowSize ...

I am going to do some furthor investigation into the actual source. Where no noob has gone before ...

I have been working on this and still can not figure it out. Any one have any ideas about this?

Hello all, I have a dificult one. how do I open an Irrlicht device inside of a Child window of a MDI application? I called this from a child form of a MDI application.

Dim Device As New Irrlicht.IrrlichtDevice(
Irrlicht.Video.DriverType.DIRECT3D9, 'driver
New Irrlicht.Core.Dimension2D(800, 600 ...

I was wondering this too, however through out my travels you have to be OS specific in order to do this. A.K.A. you would have to use windows library with mfc or something. which is a shame if you wanted to make a game for more then one OS. Well I guess you still can, but it is more coding setting ...

you are trying to find a way to have the users mouse at X distance from the barrel of the gun, in order to figure a vector to throw the projectile onto. Is the distance going to vary, posibly depending upon the desired target or max ranges of barrel of the gun? Or is it going to be a static distance ...

sorry about that, yea it looks like Ter1Width is always 0. making it uneffective. Good call mate

Wow, I cant believe this is true...
You cant add a scroll bar, please tell me your joking.

I guess I will look at the code and see if I can improve it, because that is kind of silly. I will post back to here with my progress.

long live irrlicht!

I would like to see your implamentation of another collision animator. Please post your code

I think it may just be that you are adding 15 to the y axis try this:

it could be that when you scale the meshs with
setScale(core::vector3df(40, 4.4f, 40));
that the meshes maintain there origin at the center. This means you would have to reposition the meshes after you scale them.
you can use the following to repostion the meshes.

virtual void irr::scene ...

Try reading this tutorial on collisions from the irrlicht web site

just teleport the character to the coresponding side once the character / camera has reached the limit! Try that.

Is there a reason you are accessing the transfermation matrix by reference and not ussing a pointer?

core::matrix4& tran = img->getTransformation();
tran.setScale(core::vector3df(0.5f,0.5f,0.5f));

Shouldn't this be . . .
core::matrix4* tran = img->getTransformation();
tran->setScale(core ...
