Irrlicht Engine

My .x mesh has an animation. I use getAbsolutePosition() to find the location of a joint node. It works when normal. However, when I set the scene node that use the mesh to invisible, by setVisible(false). The getAbsolutePosition() no longer correct.
I have tried to use updateAbsolutePosition(), it ...

In irrnewt, how to change the IJointUpVector after creating the ICharacterController? Since I want to make a person who will sometimes lie down and sometimes stand up. But I have lock all the 3 axis of the joint of the CharacterController already when creating it by

irr::newton::SJointUpVector ...

My mesh contain multiple animation, namely walk, jump, hit.....

and I usually use
mesh1->setCurrentAnimation("jump");
mesh2->setCurrentAnimation("hit");

I have tested the frame number by using
sceneNode1 = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh1);
while (true)
printf("%i\n",sceneNode1->getFrameNr ...

I have meshes, say
mesh1 = (irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshX*) smgr->getMesh("monster.x");
mesh2 = (irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshX*) smgr->getMesh("monster.x");

but when i set only one of them to have animation,
mesh1->setCurrentAnimation("jump");

both of them will do the same animation.

I have searched ...

Anyone knows does newton or IrrNewt has the function to attach one body onto another body? For example to attach a weapon onto the hand? I know how to do it in irrlicht but don't know how to do it in physics engine.

I discover something. When I setRotation() on ISceneNode, then getRotation(), the angle returned will be (0, angle, 0). But when I use IrrNewt, and use setRotation() on ICharacterController, then getRotationBody(), the angle returned will be (180, f(angle), 180) where f(x) is the value of angle ...

can anyone please tell me what is recompile the dll and library? i have included them already and press the debug button, is it correct? or can anyone give me the dll and library that can solve this problem.

many thanks!!

Thanks for answering. But I don't understand what you mean by

You will have to recompile either your app with the Irrlicht version of the Irrnewt.dll, or port irrnewt to the latest Irrlicht version.


What are the steps to do this?
Moreover, I am using irrlicht 1.3.1, newton 1.53 and irrnewt 0.4 ...

I have changed my program to

IrrlichtDevice *device=createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECT3D9);
ISceneManager* smgr=device->getSceneManager();
IVideoDriver* driver=device->getVideoDriver();


//load a bsp quake map
device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("media/level/map-20kdm2.pk3");
scene ...

I would like to know does irrNewt 0.4 support irrlicht 1.3.1? I use the following code

IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(EDT_DIRECT3D9);
irr::newton::IWorld* p_world = irr::newton::createPhysicsWorld(device);

but immediately after the createPhysicsWorld line, the compiler say that "Unhandled ...

Maybe just a simple question. If I have a character, should I make it as a newton cube or ragdoll?
Seems that making a ragdoll is complicated. Do I need to follow the MeciorTutorial to make an irrbox? As he said that his mesh X file isn't work, but mine can work.
Thanks.

any suggestions?

If my game has many characters in a small room, and each of them needs to be affected by collision and gravity, so I should do a createCollisionResponseAnimator for each of them? However, I add one character the animator, and the fps is around 25 already. I add two and it becomes 10. There is a big ...

I am using 3ds max8. I have drawn a chest with a cover. It has an animation such that the cover will open around the hinge. And I have two problems...

1. after I export to .x file using panda exporter, I import it into the irrEdit. However, the animation style is different from what I want. The ...

My program will use WASD to control the movement of a character. It can go forward, backward, left and right. But I don't know how to write the code for the character to move diagonally. Since when I press a button, then another button, the first button memory will be gone. So what should I do? I am ...
