addAnimator() resets the rotation of a node to 0,0,0

Hello,

am I right, that an addAnimator() resets the rotation of a node to 0,0,0, or is it my fault? I suppose that isn't the way it should work.

What i am trying to do is:
Click on a node (a door), add an animator which does the rotation (open door). After a specific amount of rotation (door is open), remove the animator.
This works so far.
Then on a second click, add a new animator with a reversed rotation (close door). This breaks, because after adding this second animator (the first animator is already removed), the rotation of the node is 0,0,0. This resetting of the node's rotation doesn't happen immediately, but after the next beginScene() or DrawAll().

Best Regards,
Holger

Only rotation animator does that, not all of them. That reminds me, that i planned to fix it

Well, time to get to work. Stay tune.

Well, that was a fast response

That are good news, because a work around would have made my code look ugly

I will be stay tuned and leave my door closing immediately, at least the opening works smooth.

Thanks,
Holger

Here's the fix:

Enjoy!

Thanks!

Will this bugfix be included in a subsequent Irrlicht update, because i didn't want to change the source code of the irrlcht engine before 1.0.

Also the 180+x MB download of the directx9 SDK download is too much for my 28.8 baud modem, in order to build the Irrlicht.[lib|dll].

I don't know. Ask Niko, he's the boss

You can just add CSceneNodeAnimatorRotation.h and CSceneNodeAnimatorRotation.cpp to your project. Change class name to something else to avoid problems. It should work.
