camera face forward during an animator

missed what!?

I completely forgot that time was a parameter for the creation of the animator.

it seems to be pointing backwards, but thats probably just my error.

ok got it working, my mistake was that i believed the start time started at the moment your animator was added, just moving that much time ahead.
instead the start Time delays (in milisecs) the animator from starting.

its still a little rough though. does the animator change the position of the node independent of the game loop? or when does it do this?

I should just stop posting in this thread as my first few posts were rather useless, BUT I feel like helping out so here goes:
The animator changes the position in the ISceneNode::OnAnimate method which is called trough ISceneManager::drawAll. This means that everytime you call ISceneManager::drawAll the position is updated.
This is what my 'overlookable'(how do you say that in proper english) knowledge of Irrlicht says anyway.

EDIT: got it 'overlookable' is discardable

EDIT: or rather humble - yes humble is better
