How to return an IAnimatedMeshSceneNode

[Necrozard]

Hi!

Well, im doing a Function for the pj, i want it to return the IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *hero so i can check input, and more, in the Main Loop, this is a little part of the function:

int Pj(IrrlichtDevice *device,IVideoDriver *driver,ISceneManager *smgr)
{
struct{
int HP=1500;
int MP=540;
} self;

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *hero = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../media/dwarf2.x"));
hero->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,false);
hero->setMaterialTexture(0,driver->getTexture("../media/dwarf2.jpg"));
return hero;
}

Thats is what i need: return hero;

but the function returns INT, so i cant do it.

i tried doing: IAnimatedMeshSceneNode Pj(Irr...)
Like it returns an IAnimatedMeshSceneNode but it doesnt work, can help me please?

Thanks.

Did you use

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode Pj(Irr...)

or

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* Pj(Irr...)

You need to use a pointer.

cant you just change

int Pj(IrrlichtDevice *device,IVideoDriver *driver,ISceneManager *smgr)

to

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* Pj(IrrlichtDevice *device,IVideoDriver *driver,ISceneManager *smgr)

Thank you very much guys for the answers!

struct{
int HP=1500;
int MP=540;
} self;

Incidentally, this is not standard C++, either ANSI/ISO/IEC 14882:1998 or (AFAIK) 2003. Out of interest, does this actually compile for you, and if so, with what compiler?

Im using Dev-cpp, i think im going to download Code::blocks, and... which is the new syntaxis for STRUCT?

Code: Select all

IrrlichtDevice* device;
IVideoDriver* driver;
ISceneManager* smgr;

class Hero {
int hp, mp;
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *hero;
public:
Hero();
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* returnNode();
} self;
Hero::Hero()
{
hp=1500;mp=540;
hero = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../media/dwarf2.x")); 
hero->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,false); 
hero->setMaterialTexture(0,driver->getTexture("../media/dwarf2.jpg")); 
}
Hero::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* returnNode()
{
	return hero;
}

You can also get node by "self.hero."
