last post might be too UNCLEAR

here the code without documentation

Not exactly





Timer timer //make a variable of the class timer

timer.declare(); // you have to do this first or it will crash
timer.set(1000); //you set the time 1000 = 1 sec ... it goes in 1000s
timer.stop(); // stop the timer because we have to do something before
Gravity = 1; // START THE ...

If you want... i can set up an already 3rd person shooter environment for u

if u want to join mine... just ...

i updated the class a bit

SO USE THIS ONE INSTED OF THE ONE ABOVE... THIS CLASS HAS THE AME CONCEPT THOUGH


class Timer
{
public:
void declare()
{
irrTimer = mainmenu->getTimer();
irrTimer->getTime();
}
void set(int timeout)
{
beginTime = irrTimer->getTime();
interval=0;
interval ...

what are threads and stick

you are correct that the while loop does halt the engine... i think stops the main loop:
driver->beginScene(...);
driver->end scene();

i am using a while loop for the timer... actually to jump

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
while(now!=time ...

if i understand your question, then what you want is to start a timer...


well i have made class timer for myself to deal with timer... maybe this might hep



class Timer
{
public:
void declare()

I have never contributed to Irrlicht in any form or way except ask useless questions. I have only answered few questions in these forms and have been proved wrong in many way :cry:

Then again, i want to be involved in something and since i am a BIG noob, I want to help others who are new as well ...

doesn't necessary have to be in the 3ds, but it has to be a graphic file representing the 3ds model.

Just make sure to have a graphic file with and if it does, i don't see u calling it

ex.

weapon1->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture ("models/moreweapons/lazer.jpg"));


//this is just an ...

I have answered a similar type of question somewhere in the form, maybe search is a good idea, but anyway, i can answer it again :wink:

To know the solution, it tahkes a bit oop programming, u might have heard, it is very common term for c++

so you want to make the device-run hing reusable....(if ...

AndyCR .............. THANKS A LOT

AND A LOT OF THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT WITH THIS IDEA

BUT

CREDIT GOES TO AndyCR CAUSE HE PUT THE CODE TOGETHER ... AND IT WORKS

Xaron i don't know how to DECLARED hud...

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEAN BY DECLARING... DECLARING IS SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU MAKE A DEVICE SAYING Irrlichtdevice * device=0;

can you please tell me how to declare a hud though like

/*whatever*/ * hud = 0;

all of you know those aimers when u see them in fps games... the gun aimers. for people who don't know, i am talking about the cross thing from which you aim... hopefully u guys know what i mean now.

i know how to set it up, just set an image OF THE AIMER in the middle of the screen. the thing is ...

remember that if u make new devices everytime just to change the SCREEN RESOLUTION, you have to declare all those driver, snv and smgr function back to each device...

this really affects the game's efficency, especially when u r making a high-graphic 3 d game with good graphic models and stuff ...

I am surprised that no one answered this question for so long but meh...

u don't have to create another device just to change the screen resolution...

if you do create new devices... there is more chances that the program will crash or when u drop the device or close it

well i know one way of ...

so how would make an aimer transparent. I tried to use the idea above and even converted my picture to a tga file, and also made my filebackground black so it becomes transparant but it didn't work

//this is how loaded my aimer
