there is no function for cloning nodes, but you can create as many nodes as you want from a mesh...

what about newnode=node->clone(newparent, smgr)

I am still with this problem.

The thing i want to do is to clone a ISceneNode and reposition it on the top of the parent. How can i do that ?
i use irrlitch 1.1

Update to the latest irrlicht, it's not hard!

Or you can just create your node in a function called createNode(...) which returns the node, then you can do this:

ISceneNode node1 = createNode(...);
ISceneNode node2 = createNode(...);
.
.
.

And so on, in the createNode function you just make your node how you want it to be and that will effectively clone it.

why did the clone() function got added to the interface if no working implementation exists?

[edit]
ahhh im sorry of course there exist many of them, but none for IAnimatedMeshSceneNode...
why so?

Im confused, is it working or not? I cannot seem to get it to work at all.

It is working, or so I remember, to place it on top, get the nodes position you want to put it on top and

Code: Select all

newnode->setPosition(node->getPosition() - vector3df(0, 10, 0));

[/code]
