Drawing a gun model with a FPS camera

[Ivo Georgiev]

I want to add a gun model to one FPS camera...like in the normal fps games...the FPS camera is named "camera"
I am sorry for the "write my code" question...

Please use the search feature on the forums as this question has been asked numerous times:

You could load your gun then parent it to the camera simply.

Use something like this (check in the SDK for the complete syntax)

gun->setParent(Camera)

Once that is done, you will still have to position it so that it look ok in your view. But it should follow your camera moves.

Simply put, the mesh is loaded in front of the camera, you want it to stay there, it could even be an arm attached to a gun floating in the air, yet the player would never know it. So the parent is the camera, holding the child.

That's great, you go ahead and do that.

Thanks, it worked...I am sorry...I wasnt able to find the search form...You are forgeting something : "gunnode->setPosition(core::vector3df(something , something1 , something2));"
I cant make the gun visible...It is aways behind the camera I cant put the right values in "something", "something1", "something2"

try:

gunnode->setPosition(gunnode->getPosition()+core::vector3df(5 , 5 , 5));

also, make sure the model is correctly loaded.

When I dont set it as a child, it shows up in the middle of the map...so it works...now I will try your code
