Irrlicht Engine

I'm trying to allow the player to enter the vicinity of a planet, then the ship automatically goes into a sort of "Orbit Mode" but the player can still turn left or right and change the altitude. When the altitude is above a certain value, "Orbit Mode" will exit into free-flight ...

I'm trying to learn how to make an object rotate around another object as if it is in orbit. I'm not here begging for a snippet, I just want some direction in what I should search for the learn the actual math behind it. Any hints?

That was it...I guess...
For some reason I was including cGame.h (which included cMainMenu.h) in cGameState.h, so I took it out and....Problem Solved!

Thanks!

I'm trying to implement an FSM of sorts, and I'm getting this error, cmainmenu.h( 18 ) : error C2504: 'cGameState' : base class undefined with this code: cGameState.h class cGameState { yada yada yada..... }; cGameState.cpp #include "cGameState.h" void cGameState::yada yada yada..... cMain...

Ok, thanks....

I was just wondering if the subversion repository for Irrlicht had moved. I have never had any problem updating with subversion. I updated today, then accidentally deleted some files later... :oops: ...then when I tried to update again to restore those files, I got this error: Error: PROPFIND reques...

When I attempt to render my scene, it get this error :Unhandled exception at 0x0042771f in irrGame.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000001.

To do what vitek suggested using Anim8or, select the room then go to
Edit -> Flip Normals
That will make the outside of the room invisible, but the inside will work like you want it to.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, but this is the way I tackled that particular problem. I have an int called gameState. Each state means a different thing, for example: 1 = Main Menu 2 = Play Game 3 = Pause Menu 4 = etc, etc, etc... My main loop is setup like this: while(device->run() ...

I suppose since you are adding new nodes, you are using billboards. Try using draw2DImage instead.

The problem was in your event receiver... Change EventReceiver.h to #include "headers.h" class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver { public: bool keyEnter; bool click; virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event) { if (event.EventType == irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT && !event.KeyInput.Presse...

I am trying to emplement per-pixel lighting on my cave model using the techniques shown in the example. However, when I try to run it I get the following error: Error: Normal map renderer only supports vertices of type EVT_TANGENTS. Is this a problem with the actual model, or is there a different wa...

What files are missing?

I'm trying to simulate a laser gun sight for my FPS. I tried using the method from the "Collision" example included with Irrlicht, but it sometimes sticks and it shakes alot. I was wondering if it was possible to do the same thing, just make it stay exactly in the center of the screen. I a...

I placed this code in my program node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_ZBUFFER , false); trying to find a way to make sure the gun was drawn on top of the walls. I placed it, then forgot about it. I was looking over everything today and I saw it. I almost slapped myself. I removed it, re-compiled, and started i...
