Irrlicht Engine

ericaus better for search on this forum, google not help in this case.
Also for do this you need know basic geometry and in accordance with this set position for yours models.

it`s standart in game movement:

//fragment of my code
//fragment from my code

#include <math.h> // for sin/cos
#define ...

Hi, I recently started learning movement with WASD. As of now I learned how to make a mesh move where W & S would move along the X axis, and A & D would move along the Z axis. I also learned how to make it so the mesh would rotate with A & D and W & S moves the mesh where ever it's facing.

Now, so ...

I have been researching it, and this is what i got:
irr::SIrrlichtCreationParameters* param;
param.Bits = 16;
param.DeviceType = EIDT_CONSOLE;
param.DriverType = EDT_OPENGL;
param.Fullscreen = false;
param.Stencilbuffer = false;
param.Vsync = false;
device = createDeviceEx(param);

These ...

Did you add the archive to the filesystem with the "addZipFileArchive" method? If so check the parameters, I got some headache from that.

yeah, I placed addZipFileArchive before calling IrrXMLReader* xml although the xml doesn't want to load from the archive file.
Strangely I can get other things ...

Hello, I'm working on a little game project and I created a function that gets a text string from an xml.


stringw gameMain::getString(int id)
{

// Note: This function must be called after initializing
// IrrlichtDevice *g_device or else an
// 'access violation' error will occur.

stringw ...

:) The mutex solution works perfectly. After a bit of research, I added:


HANDLE handle = CreateMutex(NULL, false, "demo");

if (GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
{
MessageBox(0, "Application is already running", "duplicate", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
return 0;
}


in the first ...

Just wondering - is there any reason why you want to prevent that?

Oh, its just so that once I become professionalized in using Irrlicht, I could attempt creating MORPG's and disallow users from opening more than 1 application and playing on multiple accounts. :D

Then you better use a mutex (in ...

Hello, just wondering. How do I stop more then 1 IrrlichtDevice from being opened?
Easy. Just don't create multiple devices.

that way would be easy but not so great.

I now done some testing with the source code and added:


HWnd = FindWindow(ClassName, NULL); // I'll change NULL to a window ...

Hello, just wondering. How do I stop more then 1 IrrlichtDevice from being opened?

Awesome it works. Thank you for the help.

Hello, just wondering how do I hide or show the minimize, maximize and close buttons on a GUI window that is inside an xml that was created with GUIEditor?

On a test project I've tried doing something like...


........

IGUIEnvironment* env = device->getGUIEnvironment();

env->loadGUI("LoginGUI ...

You could also just use postEventFromUser() and eat the message right there. Something like this...


case WM_CLOSE:
// you'd need to add additional minor changes to IEventReceiver.h
event.EventType = irr::EET_WINDOW_EVENT;
event.WindowEvent.EventType = irr::EWE_APPLICATION_CLOSE;

dev ...

cool it works :D I placed that into the WndProc in CIrrDeviceWin32.cpp, and commented out the WM_DESTROY case. Thanks :D

Edit:: Awesome, I just found out theres some dev = getDeviceFromHWnd(hWnd); inside some of the other switch cases. I now tried doing something like,

case WM_CLOSE:
{
dev ...

hello,
I recently started using Irrlicht a couple of days ago, with C++ and just wondering how do I go about making it so when Alt+F4 or the X button is pressed on the application window, a message box is created by addMessageBox with a yes & no button, and if yes is pressed the program closes, but ...
