Stupid FPS camera - isn't there a normal one?

[Ivo Georgiev]

How can I add a normal camera (not FPS camera), so I can set it's position manualy, no fancy key maps and no fancy jump functions?But I can control the camera's angle of view with the mouse (mouse look)...Is there this kind of camera?And how can I create it
I've tryed with addCameraSceneNode but it hasn't mouse look.And I can draw the childs of the camera.Sorry for my bad english...

Childs of a camera should always work.
Just use the static camera and add the mouse events to your custom event receiver.

Isnt there a way to prevent FPS camera from moving with the arrows?????
There are alot of bad things in the high-level programming

1.5 is planned to have a camera controller which will solve most of the horrible camera issues but that's a whole other (search) story..

you can simply set the keys to 0 in the keymap:

Code: Select all

SKeyMap keyMap[4];
keyMap[0].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
keyMap[0].KeyCode = (irr::EKEY_CODE)0;
keyMap[1].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD;
keyMap[1].KeyCode = (irr::EKEY_CODE)0;
keyMap[2].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT;
keyMap[2].KeyCode = (irr::EKEY_CODE)0;
keyMap[3].Action = EKA_STRAFE_RIGHT;
keyMap[3].KeyCode = (irr::EKEY_CODE)0;
smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100, 500, -1, keyMap, 4);

It'd be easier to just set the camera movement speed to 0.

smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100, 0, -1);
