Irrlicht Engine

So you're saying there is no "proper" fps camera (like ones in actual games)? I'm asking because I don't want to reinvent the wheel unless I have to.

What kind of method should I use to check whether the 'player' is on the ground?

Hello, I've been scanning the forums for the last few hours but I can't seem to find an answer for my problem.

Apparently, the FPS camera built into irrlicht is not good. Yes, I understand it is for demonstration purposes. There is bunnyhopping and you can jump while in the air which makes you fly ...

I don't think what I asked had something to do with the examples, but I solved it. I create a vector (1,0,0), then use rotateXZBy to rotate it around the node's rotation, then add it to the position of the node. That's all.

Hi everyone, I have a problem.

I want to check, via getSceneNodeFromRayBB, what is in front of a given scene node. I know the position and rotation of the node (obviously), but for the life of me I cannot calculate what parameters should I pass as the line ending point and beginning points. The ...

EDIT: I realized my problem, it was the setPosition :D



Hi everyone, I have a problem. When I load the default q3 map that comes with irrlicht i have no problems. However, when I load the nemesis map, there are no collisions with the map. The console says:


Irrlicht Engine version 1.5

Hi everyone, I have a problem.

I'm trying to navigate an AnimatedMeshSceneNode through some predefined waypoints. It goes through some, then gets stuck at one. I checked through debugging, and



adana=agent_node->getPosition();

// ...some operations on adana...

agent_node->setPosition((core ...

Thank you. And R.I.P Vitek if your name refers to the Vitek I'm thinking about.

I don't want to use const because I will be changing the value of the variable "name", which I can't do with consts.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get the name of a sceneNode and store it into a variable of type c8* for later usage. But I can't seem to do it. What I do is:


c8* name;
strcpy(name,const_cast<irr::c8*> (selectedSceneNode->getName()));



I tried separating it into steps, but the error happens at ...

EDIT: I also tried clearing the meshCache before deleting the agents, but I still get the crash described below...

I have changed the code a bit, so it doesn't give any more errors when removing agents, I call this within my loadLevel method:


void loadLevel(const c8* fn){
core::stringc filename ...

It just generates an exception when I try to do that...

Well let me share the relevant parts of my code if you want:


This is the agent class, and I want to call the destroy method in my loadLevel method, which I will post after the Agent

class Agent{
public:
scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode ...

Alright, now I have a new problem. I have a few IAnimatedMeshSceneNodes, and I want to destroy them when loading a new irr file. But I can't figure out how. If I just call their deconstructor, it gives an error. Is it due to the collision animators they contain? Just dropping doesn't seem to work ...

Is there a way to get the x,y,z coordinates of a place the mouse has clicked on a plane? I think a triangle selector would not work because the plane consists of 2 huge triangles. So what would be the way to solve this dilemma?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I get it. That was quite helpful.

The mesh isn't in the irr file, it is loaded independently from a 3ds file. So smgr->clear removes the mesh too, which I do not want. The program looks like this:

load animated scene node (the 3ds mesh)
load scene (the irr file)


Now after that step I need to somehow unload the irr file, but I can ...
