thanks for the reply etcaptor.
see the image. The motion path of the flycircle animation by default is the green circle. I was wondering how you could turn the motion path into the blue circle.

I looked at the API and there was no option to turn the motion ...

you have to enable lighting on the mesh
someMesh->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, true);

Is it possible to change the orientation of the flycircle animator?, that is, instead of circling around the Y-axis, would it be possible to rotate it and make it fly around the X-axis instead? I tried using setRotation() but it doesn't seem to be doing anything...

Any ideas?

I was wondering if you can turn a flat rectangular mesh into a sphere? The reason i was wondering about this is that i want to create a sky where the texture is inside the sphere rather than outside. That way, i could rotate the mesh-sphere to get a day-night cycle effect.

I was looking at ...

you can output to static text. i tried outputting the fps counter to a static text object via the setText() method.

As for the doubles, yea i think i may have to convert it to an integer or something. :( I thought that there would be something like the printf() function where you could go printf ...

quick question...how do you output a double variables to a gui::IGUIStaticText object?


cheers

heh n/m...it works...the iteration run was too slow

thanks again for the help man!

anyone??

I've been trying to set up a jumping feature for an md2 model. I'm attempting to create a Newton box, which covers the model. The box provides two purposes: 1) for handling jumping using Newton's NewtonBodySetVelocity function and 2) it handles the character's collisions (e.g. when bumping into ...

hey AssiDragon. Thanks for all your help! THey're appreciated. I got straffing and the Z axis mouse to work. I did the straffing by adding another invisible node, but this one is positioned to the left of the character instead of 1.0f in front of it. That way, i can just move to that direction using ...

AssiDragon, i wrote bunch of code in the resolve_controls() function to find out the amount the cursor moved from the original point:


// Z ROTATION (UP & DOWN) - CAMERA SHOULD ROTATE NOT CHARACTER ON Z AXIS
if ((previousMousePosition.Y < device->getCursorControl()->getPosition().Y ...

uhh..forgot to enter my username. Oh and another thing, how would you go about adding new controls to the app? such as strafing or crouching.

that was me btw:

awesome! thanks for the tip AssiDragon! And the md2 framelist But i can't seem to get X axis rotation working (up/down), it's probably ...

That's awesome work AssiDragon!! I've got a question though, how do i re-enable the mouse rotation controls? Because i want to try and use the mouse movements to control the direction of the character instead of having to use to keys to turn the character around.

thanks in advance!
