A short edit for the Event Receiver code to match the version 1.4 would be cool also.

We assume that the next newbies` generation will be using the last version, so this will save the forum some more "I hve problem wit da Event Reciver" topics... :D

Gah, the event receiver api broke AGAIN? :x ...

thanks

True, the code isnt OOP or anything, but it's a good starting point for beginners (i hope).

Good luck

Cool, sounds like it could help some people. Also, its about 1000 meters high

Most likely the event receiver is resetting it, so you need to set some kind of flag.



// In whatever class
bool isMouseVisible;

// In your event receiver
if(keys[MOUSE_WHATEVER] == true) {
isMouseVisible=false;
}

// In your main loop
setMouseVisibility(isMouseVisible);


Hope i could ...

What JP said ^^.

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *node = (IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*)getSceneNodeSomehow();

I Think theres like a "Build release" option for when you need an exe, and if you go to the build/run/etc menu at the top you can do "run without debugging", which i think also makes an EXE.

Sorry if that wasnt clear, havent used VC++ in a looong time. MinGW FTW.

Any more questions/comments anyone?

First tutorial is great, helped me understand stuff i never could understand.

Hey halifax!

As for #2, if you want to get a specific object see ISceneManager's getSceneNodeByID and GetSceneNodeByName or whatever.

A Scenenode is well.. a node in the scene :roll:

You can move it around, rotate it, scale, it and all kinds of other operations. They can hold meshes such as the IMeshSceneNode, or just be a cube such as the ICubeSceneNode.

Basically, anything in your game. A Player, a gun, a crate, even ...

The bool keys method is great and fixes this for some reason, there's an implementation in the tut in my sig.

Good luck

You should use ->getTransformedBoundingBox()

Infact, I went over this months ago on IRC with you dudMaN, didn't I?

But it Should work, doesn't it?

No, no it shouldn't, if you dont return the Transformed bounding box, it just gives you one thats always placed at 0,0.

Blindside: thanks.

All ...

Usually because everything i do sucks too much to be commercial

This is a really nice tutorial. Still can be improved though. Adding fixed and working versions of the codes will be really nice. I don`t think that there are much guys so fallen in love with the old versions to use it. :lol:

or, another more "accurate" collision function:
Code:

bool collision ...

Great job, you wrapped over irrlicht and irrklang, the two easiest libraries in their categories, then add fmod for extra fun?

Atleast you're not selling it..
