Irrlicht Engine

Just to give credit first, this is not my code mostly, its Armen's So I am not an expert in vector math but I think I see how what your saying works. I tried it out and it ends up giving you long line across the entire map :) I may need to tweak this at some point so it uses intersection point, it s...

Isn't that what this is?

trinormal=tri.getNormal();

Oh i meant to say whats the problem :) It works sorta, but the bullet holes are applied at the angle of impact, or I don't have their rotation quite right or something, and not along the surface of the box\whatever they are on. So sometimes they look ok, other times they are sticking out at an angle...

I reworked the Armen138 decal system which was working, then broken with a version of irrlicht and then fixed, but then the link went dead. Feel free to use it. It works great on level geometry. However when I modified it to work on moving things, it is close, but not quite right. So if you want to ...

Ok i think I know how to do this effectively. Do a getSceneNodeFromRayBB If you found a scene node, do getCollisionPoint on the world gemoetry(fixed so you can save off the selector for speed) Then compare the distance of the world collision with the scene node(for some reason you can see through wa...

Well I started to implement this and then I realized something.. I will have to remake a triangle selector for every scene node every single time i want to fire a bullet since their animations will be changing, and you use animation frame to build a triangle selector. This sounds like I am doing som...

Thanks. Can anyone say if this is normally how you would detect where a bullet hit? Also do I have to do a scene node check as well as the triangle to get the scene node that was hit or can you get the node from a triangle as well? Finally I will want to put a decal of some kind at the x,y,z that th...

In the collision tutorial it shows how to pick a scene node and how to pick a triangle from the world map. But what I need to do is pick a triangle from everything in the game. What I want to do is to be able to pick the thing the user is pointing at, determine what it is, and then process on that, ...

Apparently this was caused by me having a animated mesh with no texture elsewhere in the code.

Hi, I was working on a project based off of the irrilicht\newton tutorial and I had it compiling and running just fine. I started a set of modifications and when i try to run now I get an Access violation writing location 0x81d15a3a when doing this: IAnimatedMesh *mesh = smgr->getMesh("data/sma...

Learning this engine, its really cool. I have a question on mouse movement. if(event.MouseInput.Event==EMIE_MOUSE_MOVED) { printf("Mouse is now at x=%d",event.MouseInput.X); } This gives me the position. But if I want to get motion, ie to control the camera myself, is there a function for ...
