Irrlicht Engine

here's how i done it in my project:


core::vector3df ourPosition = _monster->getPosition();
core::vector3df playerPosition = player->getPosition();

core::vector3df direction = ourPosition - playerPosition;

core::vector3df newRotation = direction.getHorizontalAngle() + core::vector3df( 0 ...

have a fun, afecelis! happy New Year !!!

hello!

could ayou give me short info how i can make an animator, which will move node by the parabollyc trajection?


i know i have to apply

x = (v0* cosα )*t;
y = (v0*sinα)*t - g*t2 / 2


formulas to my node's coordinates depending on the elapsed time, but i have no success with it on this ...

vitek, thanks for info. i have to download the latest Irrlicht version then.

hello, Midnight.
i got two errors during trying to compile your code.
first was '77 C:\delme\orbiting_camera.cpp 'class irr::scene::ISceneManager' has no member named 'addCubeSceneNode.
i changed in line 77

// the thing we want to look at
box = smgr->addCubeSceneNode();


on the following ...

and why don't you want to crypt/decrypt your models as i adviced above? what's wrong with this approach?

hmm..
and what if to crypt these model's files which are supposed to put into zip archive in first.
and then after this archive being loaded, de-crypt these files and only then use them? just a thought, though.

well, here's that article. i want to warn you that you have to apply these ideas/principles to your work and to make appropriative changes etc. hope it helps!


11.2 Collision-handling
Here's an overview of how the Pop Framework handles collisions.

Make a utility class for holding pairs of ...

ming9899, i advice you to have a look at Addison Wesley's book called "Software Engineering and Computer Games", especially its chapter11 'article 11.2 Collision-Handling'. I think you'll find there useful information on your questions.
or i can post these ideas right there, if it is ok. in any case ...

yeah, it looks really amazing!
btw, could you give us a bit more info about how you've got such impressive looking landscape? it is not standart ITerrainSceneNode, right?

thanks for info!

so, is there any ideas concerning my question above?
i would be glad to see any comments!

hello all! i suppose it is a right place for my question, so i decided to ask this here.

could you tell me is it ok to calculate vector of movement according to current node's rotation in a way like this below (i want my node to move to new position which is achieved in accordance to its current ...

fully agree with JP.
as for 'addon' i would quote a bit from a good "Addison Wesley: Software Engineering and Computer Games" book, which i've read not so long ago:


Should we use a list or an array for our collection of critter pointers? Well, iterating through an array is faster than iterating ...

i took a decision to 'send' u32 currentTime to monster on each game loop's iteration and it works for me:)
maybe later i'll came to smth more practical.

my problem is still as described above. deep into my bot's AI logic (actually, in AI class, which is agregated in this bot class) I have to get time (i want to make it over pointer_irrlichtEngline->getTimer()->getTime() ), and request my base game class to create special animator for current bot's ...
