Irrlicht Engine

Hi!

I want to make a model follow a spline when a key is striken.I can use FollowsplineAnimator but what should I use as startTime Parameter?

Perhaps you could use an animator assigned to the camera...

There is setScale...I hadn't noticed that in docs...

Sorry for this silly topic...

Hi guys!

In my project,I use models following splines.

I want to draw small cubes in each spot of their path but the CubeSceneNode add a big cube.

Can it become smaller?

Thanks

Hi guys,I have some problems with md2 models...

i)When I load them by casting to IAnimatedMeshMD2(with getMesh) I am always getting a castexception... :roll: ...why is it happening?
ii)Is there any way to find with Irrlicht the frameloop for each animation?
iii)I am trying to convert sydney to .x ...

Finally I found a solution that works!!!

Here is my code in java:(anms my md2 and n a cude used for the rotation of anms)

vector3df cur = anms.getPosition();
vector3df targ=n.getPosition();
vector3df dir =targ.subtractOperator(cur).normalize();
vector3df rotation = dir.getHorizontalAngle ...

MasterBaker I tried your method but sth goes wrong:

ISceneNode n = smgr.addEmptySceneNode();
n.addAnimator(smgr.createFollowSplineAnimator(0,vecciv,0.2f,0.2f));
ICameraSceneNode tmp = smgr.addCameraSceneNode(null);

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode anms = smgr.addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr.getMesh ...

Well the faceTarget doesn't work correctly for me with this simple spline
I am trying to fix it.

I will try both solutions to see which one works better...then I will post the results...

So I can create an invisible object-attach to it the same spline animator as Sydney and then use this

void faceTarget(irr::core::vector3df targetPos) {
core::vector3df nodePos = targetPos - myNode->getPosition();
myRotation.Y = atan(nodePos.Z/nodePos.X) * (180.0f / irr::core::PI);
if ...

Everything seems to work fine but I have one more problem.

I want Sydney face the direction she moves.How can it be done?Using a rotation animator???

Thanks again zeno60

Sort of, but the b.getDistanceFrom(a) <= 1.0f will have to be updated with each device loop.

Not used Jirr so i'm not sure how that works, but you should have a main loop with your begin() and end() etc. Put:

if(b.getDistanceFrom(a)<= 1.0f)
anms.removeAnimator(anim);

Within this loop somewhere ...

So let's say that anim is my ISceneNodeAnimator and anms my IAnimatedMeshSceneNode.

I use this but obviously it's wrong.

vector3df a = new vector3df(40,0,100);
anim=smgr.createFollowSplineAnimator(0,vec,0.3f,0.5f);
anms.addAnimator(anim);
anim.drop();
vector3df b = anms.getPosition();
if(b ...

Hi guys!!!

I am new with Irrlicht(I use jirr) and I have a problem with FollowSplineSimulator.

I give the pts tha Sydney must go and the animator works fine but when Sydney reaches the end of my path goes back again and again.

What can I do???

Thanks
