Irrlicht Engine

yeah, is it cool if we use this? i assume you wouldnt have posted if we couldnt

ced, while ur right about it being more than a tutorial, but what to practice on? unforg-i suggest u learn the basics, but go through irrlicht once u have done the basics and learn with examples.
anyways, to learn about htis, just run through the code and experiment.
however ur question is very ...

it may help

try a aabbox3d and then use this function to test for triangles, if i understand it right (which i doubt considering ive been gone a while) then check if the triangles are >0.
ITriangleSelector::getTriangles (triangle3df * , s32 , s32 , aabbox3d< f32 >, matrix4 *)
the triangle selector would be the ...

not sure if its wat ur looking for, and its been a while since ive been programming, but u mihgt wnt to look at position2d<s32> ISceneCollisionManager::getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition ( core::vector3df, ICameraSceneNode* )

i believe the aabbox of the node changes with the animation. if ur trying to do exact collision (like with a bullet) i think the ray changes with the mesh too.

optimize? what do u mean? i can only think of 2 things
1. To "optimize" ur fps u gotta cut all unnecessary things, i dont no wat is in ur program so i cant do that for u
2. To "stabalize" ur fps u cant. unless u put in a pause function for every loop, which i find unneccessary myself

check the emitter for setting the emission angle

about the blender thing, i think that it might be all that you need to make ur RPG. if i may suggest Anim8or, its a really easy to use tool, great for beginners and i love it. it even has an add on for terrains, so its almost the complete packadge. the only downside is that it wont create animations ...

upv stands for upvector, its basically the direction up. 1 on the y axis means that up is y. this is also the pivot axis.

set a list of structs. something like

struct field {
vector3df pos;
bool occupied;
position2d<s32> coord;
bool ally;
}
array<field> fields;

use somthing like that for the field struct. then use this to retrieve stuff, and use position2d<s32> to store coordinates. then, when u have all 64 fields ...

change the guienv->drawAll() and the draw2dImage() to be after the smgr->drawAll(). simple

hmm this might work better, at least it should be easier. make a struct for the inventory (im assuming more diablo 2 style). in it, have [pos x and y for the array, bool occupied, and a reference to an object, if any, that is using part of the square.

hey, i love newton myself. its a little more accurate for physics and that slows down the speed, but if u have a good comp it should b fine. i like it cause its easy to use (for me, not to understand but it at least compiles). i suggest trying it out, and checkin the demo (especially for speed ...

wat do u mean? do u mean the cursor? or do u mean teh camera?
if u mean the cursor only, its prob pretty simple. try
in the main loop
