OnEvent never calls....

[fnolis]

I have made a game class which I have declared the needed virtual OnEvent but it never calls. What could be the problem? No errors when compiling and the program runs as it should (exept for the event handler)

e.g

Code: Select all

bool GameMain::OnEvent( irr::SEvent event ) {
  printf( "Event\n" );
  return true;
}

Using irr 1.3.1 and Visual C++ 2005 on Win XP.

make sure in createDevice, the eventReceiver paremeter is 'this' (if createDevice is used in some function in GameMain) or a pointer to GameMain

example:

Code: Select all

dvc = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(640,480), 16, false, false, false, this);

or

Code: Select all

dvc->setEventReceiver(this);

or

Code: Select all

dvc->setEventReceiver(&gamemainpointer);
