(C++) Simple to use Event Receiver class for Irrlicht 1.3

[sader]

Exactly wat I was planing to code thanx.
But one question do we realy need Init() function?

This function practically just sets all variables to 0 so no effect :/ because those variables becomes zero when object is created plus
it's much nicer to set default values of variables with help of constructor, or do I miss something?

There is a bug that you can't control GUI events.

I can still do that

[MasterGod]

How? please tell me how do you handle GUI with this receiver?

PS: This is what I tried:
In MastEventReceiver.cpp

Code: Select all

virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event)
   {
	  bool eventprocessed = false;

	  //////////////////////////////
      // GUI Input Event
      //////////////////////////////
      if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
      {
		  s32 id = event.GUIEvent.Caller->getID();

		  switch(event.GUIEvent.EventType)
		  {
		  case EGET_BUTTON_CLICKED:
			  if (id == 101)
			  {
				  device->closeDevice();
				  return true;
			  }
			  break;
		  default:
			  break;
		  }
      }

      //////////////////////////////
      // Keyboard Input Event
      //////////////////////////////

In Main.cpp

Code: Select all

	MastEventReceiver eventReceiver;
	eventReceiver.init();
	eventReceiver.getDevice(device);
	device->setEventReceiver(&eventReceiver);

I found that if I disable the Whole mouse handling I can control GUI events.
Now, how can I enable both mouse handling and GUI handling?

I can still do that

Yeah, your version of MastEventReceiver did the job.

PS:
Mastiff, did you neglect the "project"?

change

Code: Select all

return eventprocessed; 

to

Code: Select all

return false;

Hi. Mastiff

Could I use that code and be able to align the MOUSEX, MOUSEY with the UPVECTOR of the CAMERA. (I mean, be able to use it and modify it to do that) Can a FPSCamera can use that even handler?

I would like to make the camera walk on walls or ceiling like in "Prey".

You code seem to be a good start for that.

[MasterGod]

I didn't hear from him since long time ago. I have a good feeling you can freely change his code as long as you keep this:

Code: Select all

/// MastEventReceiver code is © (Copyright) Robert E. Demarest, AKA Mastiff or Mastiff Odit
/// This file may be used in any non-commercial or commercial project as long as the following conditions are met:

qustion: Does this work with irr 1.4?
It works on 1.3, but stopped functioning when i upgraded to 1.4.
It compiles and runs fine, but it's stopped detecting when i press a key.

eg

Code: Select all

               if (eventReceiver.leftMouseDown()==true) {
               cout << "Test" << endl;
               }

will never return true.

Is this just a problem with me, my computer or something wrong with illicht?

[MasterGod]

With you.

Try debugging it to see what's happening and if you won't find the problem post here what you get..

It should work just fine with 1.4 although someone rewrote it in a much better way..
I've extended it a little bit, I can give you if you want.. Oh and it works with 1.4.. (If I remember right.., I think I tested it with some pre-beta SVN version at the time..)

[3DModelerMan]

This is exactly what I need. I use 1.4.1, so if it works with 1.4 then it should work with 1.4.1 to, where's the download for the improved one?.

I need some help to use this code. Well, I have a class named gamecontrol, that do all initialization stuff, camera control and the game loop, something like that:

Code: Select all

gamecontrol::gamecontrol(int RX, int RY, int PB, char WM) {



		switch (WM) {
				case 'f': windowMode = true;
				break;
				case 'j': windowMode = false;
		}

		dispositivo = createDevice(
							EDT_SOFTWARE,
							dimension2d<s32>(RX, RY),
							PB,
							windowMode,
							false,
							false,
							0);

		driver 	= dispositivo->getVideoDriver();
		smgr 	= dispositivo->getSceneManager();
		guienv = dispositivo->getGUIEnvironment();
		
		ISceneNode* playerNode = smgr->addEmptySceneNode();

		scene::ICameraSceneNode * cam = smgr->addCameraSceneNode(
                playerNode,                                      //parent
                vector3df(0,75,100),                             //angleX, angleH, distance
                playerNode->getPosition(), //vector3df(0,0,0),   //look at...
                -1);
		dispositivo->getCursorControl()->setVisible(true);

		LoadChars();

}


void gamecontrol::LoadChars() {

	Cviking = new viking(this);

}


void gamecontrol::SetTituloJanela(wchar_t* titulo) {

 dispositivo->setWindowCaption(titulo);

}


void gamecontrol::run() {

	ControlaMundo();



	while(dispositivo->run())
    {

        driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0,255,0,0));

			smgr->drawAll();

			guienv->drawAll();


		driver->endScene();
    }

}

gamecontrol::~gamecontrol() {

 dispositivo->drop();

}

void gamecontrol::ControlaMundo() {

	Cviking->SetMovAndando();

}

(How) can I use the MastEventReceiver code among with that?

[3DModelerMan]

How come this does'nt work? here's my code

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht.h>

#include "MastEventReceiver.cpp"

using namespace irr;

using namespace core;

using namespace scene;

using namespace video;

using namespace io;

using namespace gui;

//================================================================================
//main function
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{   //the master event receiver

    MastEventReceiver eventReceiver;
    eventReceiver.init();

    //creates an Irrlicht device

    IrrlichtDevice *device =
        createDevice(EDT_SOFTWARE, dimension2d<s32>(640, 480), 16,
            false, false, false, &eventReceiver);

    //sets the window caption of the device
    device->setWindowCaption(L"Wolfpack.");

    // gets a pointer to the video driver scene manager and gui environment.
    IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
    ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
    IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();
    //=============================================================================

    guienv->addStaticText(L"Hello World! This is the Irrlicht Software renderer!",
        rect<int>(10,10,200,22), true);

    if ( MastEventReceiver->keyPressed(KEY_ESCAPE ))
    {  device->closeDevice();  }
    //=============================================================================
    //end of main function
    while(device->run())
    {
        eventReceiver.endEventProcess();
       //draw the world
        driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0,200,200,200));

        smgr->drawAll();
        guienv->drawAll();

        driver->endScene();

        eventReceiver.startEventProcess();

    }

    //delete the Irrlicht device
    device->drop();

    return 0;
}

And here's the error that I get

Code: Select all

 error: base operand of `->' has non-pointer type `MastEventReceiver'

Thanks .

[Dark_Kilauea]

Code: Select all

MastEventReceiver->keyPressed(KEY_ESCAPE )

Should be this:

Code: Select all

MastEventReceiver.keyPressed(KEY_ESCAPE )
