Collision question.

FleshCrawler · Post by **FleshCrawler** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 3:51 pm

i'm working on collision detection for my program. but it gives me a weird error

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'class irr::scene::ISceneNode *' to 'class irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

i got no idea what this means

but its on this part of the code -> node1 = smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh1->getMesh(0));

node1 has to be declared as "ISceneNode*"

Unfortunately, you can't do a simple C-style recast because the data structure behind a ISceneNode pointer and a IAnimatedSceneNode pointer is different.

I don't remember offhand what the solution is to get a mesh loaded into the OctTree like that, but I believe it has been posted before. If it's unanswered when I get home, I'll see if I can figure out the solution.
