Changing jump power run time?

[Ivo Georgiev]

How can I change the jump power when the game runs, not when I am compiling...I mean changing the properties of the camera during the run process.Something like this:

Code: Select all

while (my_device->run()) {
driver->beginScene(true, true, 0)
my_scene->drawAll();
<code to change the jump power of the camera>
driver->endScene();
}

You can't, at least not trivially, as that property isn't exposed by ICameraSceneNode. The various camera scene nodes are fine for simple demos, but are not intended for use in serious projects. Having "jump" functionality is a nice bonus, but not really core functionality of a "camera".

What you could try doing is add a new camera with the same properties as the existing one (including setting its position and look at) with a new jump speed, then calling remove() on the existing one. This may work fine, or may produce wacky artifacts; you'd have to suck it and see.
