Irrlicht Engine

i've tried that and what happens is the box always goes to the left hand side of the camera and stays there even if i try to change the position of the box. i also cant let go of the box when i release the "e" button. i put in this if statement else if(!r.isKeyDown(irr::KEY_KEY_E)){       ...

sorry but what example are you talking about?

yes!!!!

Thanks anyway. i sort of managed to make it work. I can move objects..sort of. its good enough so its okay. Thanks for your help mate

BTW please go and play portal

i know only the basics so not a lot lol ok so tried what you said. we are close but i get really weird results. so first i did it your way   if(r.isKeyDown(irr::KEY_KEY_E)){                         if(length <= 40.f){                                 std::cout<<"can pick up"<<std::endl;    ...

oh man i have no idea what you wrote in the second paragraph. So this is what i have done so far:   irr::core::vector3df direction(pos-posChar); direction.normalize() * 2;   so now i have the direction and the length. To move it away like the character (or the camera) is looking start with a vector ...

oops my bad. ok i'll try to explain here goes. my game is a first person shooter, so what i've done is created a IkinematicCharacterController and attached the camera to it and put the function in the game loop.   void player::attachCameraToPlayer(){         camera->setPosition(character->getWorldTr...

So in my game i have used the bullet physics engine and i'm using the wrapper irrbullet but thats not the problem. that works perfectly fine. What i want to be able to do is move those objects in the direction of my camera. This is what i've done so far   void level::playerIneraction(myEventReceiver...

hello there guys. I'm having linker problems :cry: i get the code working when i add the bullet libraries by following their tutorial on the site and getting their helloworld program to work. The linker errors happen when i add the wrapper. I know its going to be a stupid error but i cant figure it ...

oh right yeh. what you have done makes a lot more sense then what i'm doing. I'm just trying to complicate things and making it harder for myself. I think i'll first go and make a class diagram to see what classes i'll need instead of making it up as i go along and work from there. Thank you so much...

O...M...G I learned about namespaces on the first day of using irrlicht and told myself i wouldn't use them because just like you said it's not very good idea. cant believe i didn't spot that. i'v spent hours on this!!!! RAAAGGEEEE well thanks anyway. i'll definitely not make this mistake EVER AGAIN...

So i have been learning c++ since October and i think i'm understanding how object orienting programming works. Now the problem is i understand the theory of it but can't put them into practical use. Now i have to make a game using Irrlicht for uni assignment :roll: . I've read the book "Irrlic...
