remove parent

[Papa Lazarou]

How can I change the parent of a scene node to have no parent?
I tried ->setParent(0);
but then after that if i then try to change the parent again it crashes.

Call node->setParent( smgr->getRootSceneNode() )

As it is written in the API doc:

The root scene node "is parent of all scene nodes. The root scene node is a special scene node which only exists to manage all scene nodes. It will not be rendered and cannot be removed from the scene. "

It crashes because its parent is the only thing that has a reference to it. Without a parent, it gets deleted at the end of setParent(0).

Call node->grab() before node->setParent(0) so that your app holds a reference to it, and then node->drop() after you set a valid parent.
