[fixed] getAbsoluteTransformation problem after 1.3

[deanh22a]

I just updated to version irrlicht 1.3 and i'm having a problem.

I have code that looks like this:

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* model;
model->getAbsoluteTransformation().rotateVect(location3);

but getAbsoluteTransformation gives me this error:
error C2660: 'irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode::getAbsoluteTransformation' : function does not take 0 arguments

Just to see what would happen, I tried adding a 0 to make it look like this:

Code: Select all

model->getAbsoluteTransformation(0).rotateVect(location3);

But then I get this error:
error C2039: 'rotateVect' : is not a member of 'irr::scene::SMD3QuaterionTag'

I'm also getting an error when I try to do this:

Code: Select all

driver->setTransform(video::ETS_WORLD, model->getAbsoluteTransformation()); 

So basically, I don't know what to do with SMD3QuaterionTag. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?

This is a bug. Someone added an overload of getAbsoluteTransformation() to the IAnimatedMeshSceneNode, but didn't promote the virtual with the same name from the base class. This means the original getAbsoluteTransformation() is hidden by the new overload.

If you truly want the absolute transformation of the entire scene node, you can cast node to a regular ISceneNode* before you call getAbsoluteTransformation()...

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* model;

// set model to something valid...

// this should work
((scene::ISceneNode*)model)->getAbsoluteTransformation().rotateVect(location3);

ah. thanks. works fine now

I've renamed this method to getMD3TagTransformation
