Irrlicht Engine

Hello all, I have a quick question for you. I was wondering how to go about handling user events from inside the scene. For example, if the player collides with a specific object, say a door that signifies the end of a level, I want to catch that event then end the current scene and start the next ...

Thanks for the help ruggjack. I will try irrEdit 1.5 tonight. My only question is will irrEdit 1.5 work with irrlicht 1.7? The ambiera website says it is only compatible with irrlicht 1.5.

In regard to your edit, I tried manually creating my animator for the light but I figured that once I finish ...

Actually, I think I narrowed down the source of my problem. I decided to compare the text of my level.irr file with the example.irr file from example 15, and my file doesn't have any animators listed. For instance, the example.irr file has:

<animators>
<attributes>
<string name="Type" value ...

Ok, apparently the problem is coming from how I am calling loadScene. The game starts with a simple GUI with two buttons, one to begin the game and the other to quit. In my onEvent, I have this code:


case EGET_BUTTON_CLICKED:
switch(id)
{
case GUI_ID_PLAY_BUTTON:
{
guienv->clear();

loadScene ...

Thank you for the reply.

I'm really confused.

Because that's what I did. I set the behavior on one of the lights in my scene on irrEdit to Fly in Circle, and it works in the editor and it's level tester, but when I load the scene into my game it only shows the level with static unmoving lights ...

I made a level in irrEdit and I uploaded it into my game using loadScene() from the scene manager. Does irrEdit support exporting dynamic lights to .irr files, and if so, how do I animate the lights from my .irr level in my code? Does irrEdit support exporting animations to .irr scenes that can be ...

Thank you for the helpful replies. I managed to access the camera with the following code:


camera = static_cast<ICameraSceneNode*>(smgr->getSceneNodeFromId(397221078));

device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);

cameraFPS = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0,100.0f,0.5,-1,keyMap,9,true,0.1f ...

I wrote a basic program to load a scene from IrrEdit. I'm having trouble figuring out how to access the scene nodes from my .irr scene. For example, I placed a FPS camera in my level with IrrEdit, and I want to be able to load the scene into my code and run it without having to manually create the ...

Please, if anyone knows why this isnt working i would appreciate it.

Thanks for your posts.

I did what you said Dances, but then it does what I described in my first post, when the camera jumps continuously like the jump button is stuck. Here is some code
:

Keymap and Camera code:

irr::SKeyMap keyMap[9];
keyMap[0].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
keyMap[0].KeyCode ...

I have one more question. Is there anyway I can use my FPS camera, and make it so that when I hold down the spacebar it only jumps once?

BTW: sorry for the tripple post.

Ooops. I'm really sorry, I fixed it. I just realized that I had some code in the OnEvent() to make it jump, and I forgot to remove that before I made my keyMap to do it. But it works now. Thanks.

I'm having a problem with a FPS camera I put in my game. When I press space to jump, it doesnt stop jumping (as if the space key were stuck [which it isn't])

I made a custom keyMap for the camera, heres the code:


irr::SKeyMap keyMap[9];
keyMap[0].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
keyMap[0].KeyCode ...
