well a "sphere" could be thought as a distance to target really.

if "this node" is "this far" from "impact position" then apply "this damage"

You could then depending on the distance between positions of the node and impact spot set a fall off damage from the distance value.

edit: so to get all ...

Im creating a 3rd person camera for my project using an invisible scene node as the parent that follows the players object/character with a camera scene node attached as a child. As the parent is rotated the camera will relatively be rotated automatically.

Heres the current Camera class source as ...

edit: opfh, there we go, forgot to do device->setEventReceiver()...

had to add a mouseHasMoved() method too, but all in all thanks.

yup, thanks again, solved.

yup it seems to be the case (finally )

Can only assign one array of chars per += operator. Else it will change the value of the text being concatonated;

still not showing. I've always used the last 2 arguments as 0 because it seemed they werent being used. If I substitute the mxy.c_str() with L"Test123" it shows. Something wrong with the string somewhere

edit: could it be that using += 123 + L", " + 456 is just adding up the characters as a single ...

string<wchar_t> mxy;
mxy += 123 + L", " + 456;
fWhite->draw(mxy.c_str(),rect<s32>(50,100,0,0),SColor(255,255,0,0));

Tried that instead of using the functions to return mouse position (think that was crashing it). However the text draw function is not drawing any of the string values.

oh so thats how you use templates? Makes sense to me now, thanks :D

string<wchar_t> mxy;
mxy = input->mouseX() + L", " + input->mouseY();
fWhite->draw(mxy.c_str(),rect<s32>(50,100,0,0),SColor(255,255,0,0));

btw, it didnt crash because it did not compile, I only said I tried to compile :wink ...

Im new to c++, I usually use C# and java.

What I am trying to do is place mouse x and y position values on the screen. The problem is in c/c++ u cant add strings togeather, and for the font draw function it requires a wide character.

Heres what I tried:

string* mxy;
mxy->append(input->mouseX ...

Odd, getting a celshading.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close type of error at startup. I tried compiling the program myself and fiddling around with a few things, even commenting out the shader parts because my video card is only shader 2.0 (which I assume would be fine though ...

Alright, instead of using an alpha png that generates no XML file for the font, I went to bmp, with a purple colour key, and black outline on the white text. (this way no matter what colour used the font will always be outlined in black.)

Now, a new problem arises. The spacing overlaps other ...

I've been playing around with the font library and such, and I have come to the conclusion that I need to either make my own font class, ask here just in case, and ask if there is already a font class that can do this that someone might know of.

What I am trying to do is something like this:
http ...

When using the new font tool you have to load the .xml file, just as the docs tell you
Maybe another candiadte for the FAQs - ah, should be already in but people simply skip over it...

Ok, got it to work now, but how about font colour/style? Shouldn't it be using the patterns of the image file ...

hmmm, anyone have a history of font tool in the bin folder of irrlicht not working?

console says the amount of upper corner pixels or lower corner pixels is == 0, font file may be corrupted...
