Irrlicht Engine

I recently switched from 1.5 to 1.7.1 and noticed getSceneNodeFromScreenCoordinatesBB() returned wrong results. This is a known bug:

Does any1 know a work ...

have you tried a clean and build? Can do miracles sometimes ...

shouldnt this be 255,255,255,255 if you want it white?

Doh, why didn't i think of this....thanks hybrid!

I want to rotate a SceneNode around it's parent. The docs say rotation is done relative to its parent, but apparently calling setRotation does not rotate it around the parent :( my problem is best explained using sample code:


pParent->setPosition(vector3df(0,0,0));

pChild->setParent(pParent ...

thanks CuteAlien

Can i do this by simply calling smgr->getRootSceneNode()->updateAbsolutePosition() or do i have to do it individually?

Unfortunately that didnt solve the problem

I've been trying to understand why my SceneNode has a weird absolute position for a couple of hours but i just cant find the reason why.

Situation:
I have a 'pallet', which is an AnimatedMeshSceneNode, with an emptySceneNode as parent. It's position is correct.

I also have a 'box', which also is ...

Basically what you want to achieve is to load everything into memory before rendering. You can do this by simply keeping a boolean bLoading, which will be TRUE by default and FALSE when all the loading is done. In your game loop you can make a call to a function showing the loading screen, when ...

I guess what instinct wants is text in another perspective.

indeed ;)


I guess it might be possible to render the text to a texture and use that texture on another object. I don't think we have already a general easy way to put text on some object otherwise.

that's too bad. I was hoping ...

I was wondering if it's possible to display some text in the world that does not act like a billboard. I noticed the basic ITextSceneNode is visible from every direction and 'through every wall'. I would like to place some text on the ground, without it being a billboard. How do i do this?

This can be done easily by using Smgr->getMeshManipulator()->scale().

Sorry for not looking into the docs better

I'll leave it here if some1 is wondering about this...

I was wondering if it is possible to set the size of an AnimatedMesh, just like you can when calling Smgr->addCubeSceneNode().

Since every mesh can have a different size, depending on how it's modeled, this is a problem for me. For example, when i have 2 models of buildings, they can have ...

thanks for pointing that out to me CuteAlien. Turned out i did and fixed the bug in my own code !
