help with water surface and audio

Hi guys!

Following the specialfx tut I got a water surface to work properly but I can't move it to place it somewhere else of my map. Adding "set position" to the node won't make it move. How do you change the location of water?

question2:
what's the simplest way to load and play an mp3 with my map? Checking the techdemo I noticed it's complicated. Is there an easier way (just like everything else in Irrlicht)?

cheers!

It's not that hard, since Irrlicht is a gfx engine and not a sound lib you will have to use external lib, like Audiere or OpenAL, both are very easy to use and in 30 min you can have a working sound system

scene::ISceneNode* WaterNode =smgr->addWaterSurfaceSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0), 3.0f, 300.0f, 30.0f);
WaterNode->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,7,0));

thnx Lord, but as I originally mentioned, assigning "set position" to the node didn't move it either.

I'm clueless
