Irrlicht Engine

I dont have the code with me right now, but I can show you the pseudo:


public void SetState(State newState)
if (this.currState != null)
this.currState.Clear() // clears the scene graph, obj lib and gui lib

this.currState = newState
newState.Clear() // clears the scene graph, obj lib and gui ...

No further tips about this problem? Without a fix for it, Irrlicht is not really usable for me.

The reason why I want to hide my objects is many fold. Say I complete a level and want to load another one.. I need to clear the scene of all previous objects so they don't appear in the new level. That is one example. Another example is if I go from Main Menu to Game and then back to Main Menu ...

I feel I need to ask a very noobish question: is it possible to have multiple devices and just switch between them like in this world struct example?

*hides in case anti-noob squad appears*

I have multiple game states in my engine based on Irrlicht, and when I switch between different game states I make sure to clear the SceneManager so there are no redundant objects from previous states laying around.

I have two states at the moment: menu and game. If I switch between them ...

I am having the exact same problem. I cannot cast a read SceneNode into anything usable without the program crashing... using Irrlicht .NET CP for C#.

When I traverse the SceneManager's scene graph, I cannot seem to convert the children to their respective types.

What I mean is:


SceneNode[] children = smgr.RootSceneNode;
foreach (SceneNode child in children)
if (child.SceneNodeType.ToString.Equals("Mesh"))
{
AnimatedMeshSceneNode mesh ...

Looks to me like he's asking about how to get the node that is currently being handled in the event, what node the current shader is applied to.

Post code of how you are doing it.

Please do read this:

and watch for 2D methods. You'll find lots of color parameters there, too.

Felt like something that should have worked, but I see nothing.. seems like the texture parameter does nothing... Also ...

Ok, I see.. bummer.. Thanks anyways

Aha, but I think I could settle with using the first texture's coordinates since I do not need to tile the detail map for non-terrain geometry.

I noticed that only TerrainSceneNodes can be assigned a detail map. I'd like to have the same for non-terrain (i.e. regular geometry meshes), is it possible? Perhaps through some mix of two textures and a material type setting?

Found two different tutorials that incorporated two different techniques of how to draw a quad, but they were both in 3D space. I need this to be in 2D space.

Would it be possible to make a GUIImage object with color blending?

Awesome! Show some pics perhaps?
