Irrlicht Engine

hi all, ok first off, i'm trying to implement a reset button, where when the 'R' key is pressed, the camera goes back to the initial start point. now my environment is basically a multi storey building. i've successfully implemented the key press event (using TTinyEvent class by Emil Halim) and the ...

thanks a bunch bitplane! i think i can understand your tips mostly, and i'll try to implement them. thanks! think i'd be refering to you bitplane, in the future. thanks again! :D

Hi all, I'm just wondering about many aspects of game development, as this is my first time trying to develop a game (or at least a project in a game-like environment). Hope you could shed some light. My current project involves a whole building (student dorms); 5 levels where each level has 4 dorms...

:oops: wow, now i really know how it's like to feel extremely stupid. why i didn't check out the operator(s), was really a dumb move on my part. thanks a lot bitplane for clearing it up!

Now where the hell is that "C++ Operators for Ultra Dummies" book..

uhh sorry vitek, i don't think i fully understand the terms you're using since i'm quite new to c++. what i understand from what u posted is - create a function which accepts parameters such as current camera position and the object node. then in this function, have a check on the needed camera posi...

Hey guys! Sorry if this has been asked in the forums before, cos I did a search and nothing that came up could help me. I was wondering how do I make models disappear and reappear on certain conditions. For example: When the player reaches a certain point on the map, a 3D arrow appears in front of t...

As far as the 65536 limit, you only need 32 bit indices, if you have more than 65,536 indices in a single model. I assume you're using OpenGL? You need to override the getMaximalPrimitiveCount function from CNullDriver to use a value like 1048576; That value is used to render the maximum number of ...

Cool. Thanks for your help hybrid!! Appreciate it lots!

Okay, so that basically means for each part, create indv scene nodes and their meshes. Now how do I do that multiSelector thing? How do I assign these multiple selectors to the camera? If possible please do give samples in coding. I have no intention to rip off codes as this project is for non-benef...

well, okay so i guess there's no such alternative way other than splitting levels up and loading them seperately. Now the question is: 1) How do I go about doing that? Anyone kind enough to give an example on how to load multiple parts of a level? 2) How will the collision detection be affected? Adm...

Hmm..so for example if I have 6 rooms in a level. I should have 6 room#.3ds and load them seperately? Which means all the positioning would be done in coding? for instance: scene::IAnimatedMesh* v5mesh = smgr->getMesh("actual.3ds"); scene::ISceneNode* v5node = 0; if (v5mesh) v5node = smgr-...

Hi, sorry if there is a similar post to this, cos I really need help A.S.A.P! I've been doing some modelling in 3DSMax for a FPS project. I modeled a room's interior and with one room, everything was fine. However, my whole project involves multiple rooms and when I tried duplicating it to 3 whole r...

whoops! sorry people. i found something in this board. sorry again for adding stupid posts. :(

Hello people! I'm really a newbie here, to the extent that I'm just going through the tutorials as I post here. I'm supposed to do this project which I intend to make it in the form of a FPS style walkthrough. I've gone through the basic tutorials (not finished yet), and I think there are no tutoria...
