Irrlicht Engine

Lol, didn't even think to try that. Even after binky told me how it works too. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help, I'm understanding pointers and things better now. I've been able to pass almost everything I want into functions now. I just have one thing that I'm having problems with. I want this code in a function: video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver(); I declare my fun...

Don't use the codeblocks template, I think it's windows only. You'll have to set up the project by yourself, don't worry it's not too hard. If you want step by step instructions how to do so, let me know.

I usually like to pass data into variables by using a '&' pointer like this: void someFunction(int &a) { a = 2; } Rather than do it this way: int someFunction() { int a; a = 2; return a; } But irrlicht objects are declared using the '*' pointer, does this still work the same way? I.e. would ...

Thanks very much! I didn't realize it worked that way. I'm not used to compiling things in projects, I usually just have a bunch of files.

It's kind of hard for me to describe. Do you know of any examples that shows something like example 4 organized into separate functions?

So I'm still pretty new to C++ and have a few questions. I don't like how all the irrlicht examples are organized. I prefer to have my projects broken up into different functions and files. When trying to do this to some irrlicht examples I have problems when trying to pass variables into functions....

I just keep all my irrlicht stuff in my home directory and add the home/irrlicht folders into my directory search. You have to make sure you link all the correct things, the link commands can be found in a Makefile in an example directory.

There are only two .cpp files and only one of those files has declares for my variables. They are definitely only declared once. The file is still #included in my main.cpp but I only get errors when I add it as part of my codeblocks project. If it was an error with the code, wouldn't I still get the...

Sorry it took so long for me to post this, I just don't have much time between school and work. I finally had some time to play with it. The code is now organized in two files, main.cpp and myReceiver.cpp. I'm still getting the same error. Here's something strange though, I got it to work. I'm using...

I like png because it has a high compression and still supports alpha channels and has great quality.

As for model type, I'm just now getting back into irrlicht and I heard it supports collada now, so you might try that.

I only did the extern in event.cpp and I already found that page, but thanks anyways. I'm seriously thinking it has something to do with the file being named event. I'll try naming it something else when I get home. Like i said before, it compiles fine if I put all the code in main.cpp.

I've tried making them extern but it's of no use. The reason device is set to 0 is because it won't compile if I don't. I get an error saying "device not declared in this scope" because the variable is declared in main.cpp but is used in event.cpp. I'll post the contents of main.cpp when I...

#include <irrlicht.h> using namespace irr; IrrlichtDevice* device = 0; core::position2d<s32> click = core::position2d<s32>(0,0); class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver { public: virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event) { if (event.EventType == irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT&& !event.KeyInput.Pre...

When compiling I get this error: obj/Debug/main.o: In function `irrAllocator': /home/mike/irrlicht/include/irrAllocator.h:26: multiple definition of `device' obj/Debug/event.o:/home/mike/projects/irrtemp/event.cpp:13: first defined here obj/Debug/main.o: In function `irrAllocator': /home/mike/irrlic...
