Nodes not showing up

[Guest]

I have created 4 classes to manage irrlicht scene nodes, ie init, change, delete.
There is a class for a light, a billboard, a particle and an Animated Mesh.
I also have an item class that creates an object with all of these classes in it.

Code: Select all

class cItem
{
 public:
  scene::ISceneNode* node;

  cLight light ( params );
  cParticle particle ( params );
  cMesh mesh ( params );
  cBillboard bb ( params );

  cItem();
  ~cItem();
};

Now if i create any one of these classes individually, it shows up. However, if i create the item class, nothing shows up.

Anyone got any ideas as to why?

When you create an instance of the class, it will not automatically add itself to the scene because you havn't added anything to the scene. Try creating an instance of the class, then calling one of those functions. Or did you already try that?

it was such a stupid problem.
when i was creating an item i used:
cItem testItem();
but to get it to work i had to use:
cItem testItem;

I dunno why this is? any one know?
