Irrlicht Engine

How do I tell a billboard scene node to only rotate to face the camera on one axis? Or do I have to write my own rotation calculation code for this?

Thanks,

first things first, WHY??
next, I don't think it can be done. the mesh that TerrainSceneNode uses is created from a height map, and you can't really convert a mesh to a height map. Theoretically you could go vise-versa.

There will be three steps to making this. 1)Get all your graphics going. This could be as simple as a black screen, a white circle, and a block for a paddle. 2)Get the ball and paddle moving. See below* 3)Make it check to see if the ball misses the paddle. That's the bare necessities, other things c...

*best* way is a physics way - have 4 (3 would do) points which represent the corners of the tank, each one responding to gravity and checking for collisions with the terrain, then use some simple math to calculate the angle they're making with each other and set the tank to match. Of course, you wo...

Okay, Maybe I should re-phrase this. The tank won't drive up the hill because the angle is too steep. If the tank is rotated so that the front end is up in the air, it will drive up the hill. How do I make the tank always rotate itself so that it is driving parallel with the ground. Always. Any idea...

I have a node (the tank in the foreground of the screen shot) that I would like to rotate the pitch relative to the landscape. You can see the obvious problem in the screen shot picture. The landscape is an "AnimatedMesh" even though it's not animated. I modleded it elsewhere. I am running...

Thanks!!

Sorry, but that still moves when the key is clicked. Any other ideas?

How do I get key input in Irrlicht? They do it in the Terrain tutorial, but that is when a key is tapped. I want it to check in the main loop to see if a key is pressed, and then do my code. (I'm trying to make it so that when I hold a key down, the node is rotated.) BTW this is in C#. But I can pro...
