Irrlicht Engine

You can set the animation frames within a certain range. You might be able to define a set of those ranges as variables and then switch between them using the mesh->setFrameLoop(begin, end).

Hope it helps.

Why not just use a regular PC gaming controller? If you're referring to using Irrlicht on the Xbox 360, then that's an existing thread.

What type of visual effect are you trying to achieve? I'm not following your question exactly; a rotation about a point in space (outside of the mesh's BB) or a rotation about a different point within a mesh's BB?

Your answer is a few posts above your post...

If you take a look at the Irrlicht documentation, IAnimatedMeshSceneNode inherits from ISceneNode; thus, I don't think there is an error in the Irrlicht Design in regards to shadows. However, I'm not sure until you post some code detailing how you're using Christian's code.

You might be able to knock that compile target down to 2.0, but it all depends on the capabilities of your video card.

I would take Arras' advice one step further and implement a generic class that keeps track of those pointers.

Thanks Vitek!

If you set the object's position as the intersection between the ray and terrain, all your objects will be placed along the terrain, which is restrictive.

My current algorithm includes setting the selected object as a child of the camera (when the left mouse is held down), thus, allowing the ...

The adding of the triangle selectors to the Metatriangleselector is correct, but hopefully you didn't forget to use that metaselector in setting up the CollisionResponseAnimators for each fairy, as was stated.

Animating a mesh model is better done in a 3D modeling software (which you can find a list of on the irrlicht forum). Look up key-frame animations to get started.

Hope it helps!

Nice walkthrough. I changed the height of the walker to about 100 via the options menu, and that felt about right.

Also, do you have vsync enabled? The rendering wasn't very smooth, but it could be my crap hardware. I'm currently running on: 2.08GHz CPU, 64MB Shared Graphics, 512MB RAM; seems like ...

IrrEdit is, indeed, a good choice and I think you can also import some custom scene nodes, so long as your game objects inherit from the ISceneNode class. Thus, you should be able to use IrrEdit to include your custom objects in a scene; however, I'm not sure if you can extend the parameter toolbox ...

Thanks CuteAlien!
