Irrlicht Engine

Ah, I've found it Needed to disable RTTI and use static_cast instead of dynamic_cast...

I'm trying to retrieve the value selected on a menu. The following line gives seg fault on dynamic_cast<std::remove_pointer_t<T> *>(guiElement); From here: std::remove_pointer_t<T> * getGuiElement(int in_id) { //check that T is a valid type to try to upcast during compile time. static_assert(std::is...

I'm trying to make my game run on a modern system, and apparently the latest version doesn't have CBatchingMesh anymore... What's the replacement?

I want to change the device settings (e.g. resolution, full screen) during run-time. The following code closes my application instead of resetting the resolution:     void CMazeGameEngine::setResulotion(unsigned int in_width, unsigned int in_height) {     init(in_width, in_height);     setupMenuAndW...

I've used the CBatchingMesh to hold my whole maze - since I thought it's not that big and demanding - it's just 250 planes + 500 boxes - all boxes with same texture of about 100kb and all planes with the same texture of about the same size... I only see about 10th of these planes and boxes at a give...

But to access the function of the spinbox from the base guielement pointer I still have to dynamic_cast, don't I?
My game crushed on me before I turned RTTI on, and the only thing I did was dynamic_cast, I didn't even use typeid...

Thank you very much!

It seems irrlicht is configured to compile with no RTTI - Is there a reason why I shouldn't enable it? Maybe I should modify how I go about things? I'm casting to get the gui values after a button was clicked, e.g: unsigned int CMazeGameMenu::getChosenNumOfAIPlayers()     {         float numOfAI = d...

I've made a little camera controller class which makes the camera fly to wherever it's pointed at. But my circular motion animator stops animating while the camera is on the move... am I doing something wrong? Here's my code: _levelStartTime = _timer->getRealTime();         unsigned int lastFrameTim...

Is there a way to determine in run-time the possible resolutions a computer supports for full-screen mode? I'm making a video settings menu and I want to populate it only with the right options... I would also like to know how I determine if certain features are supported, e.g. parallax mapping (my ...

I've got many similar meshes (walls) in my scene graph (created one mesh, and added many IMeshSceneNodes) Is it better to add all these meshes up into one Mesh using it's meshBuffers? If so, Why? I would have to add each vertex of the mesh over and over again with the appropriate offsets, which seem...

Hi, I've built a dynamic maze using   _sceneManager->getGeometryCreator()->createCubeMesh(...)   To build the maze walls, and I intend to push the result into a meshBuffer. To make the maze use as little vertices as possible (because it could be very big), I have long cubes for long corridor walls -...

Thanks for the reply, I thought I was missing something... So I guess I'll just write the rotation bit myself, so that I'd know exactly when to stop and start walking straight. Do you have any advice regarding player controls? I've currently inherited IEventReciever, and made my event receiver acqua...

I understand it's just a counter.. I just want to make sure I got it correctly: If I use a create function to get an animator node, add it to another node, and than call clear on scene manager - I would still have that animator node because it had 2 refs, and now it has one? So I have to drop the an...

I've walked through the irrlicht movement tutorial. It seems there are two ways to move a scene node - one is through an animator, and the other is setting position and rotation in the game loop. I think using animators is the more elegant way, but I can't find an example of how to use it the way I ...
