You can set the camera as the weapons parent, I think the code works like this.

Code: Select all

 node->setParent("another node");

I'm pretty sure it's something like that, you might have to play around with it a little, cause I'm not as good at programming as modeling.

I found it, I don't know why this happens, and how to fix, please any help
When I look down in the terrain, the part of the weapon is getting inside the terrain.

Try putting a colision response animator on the weapon like in the collision example.

Actually, disabling the Z-Buffer on the gun may be a better idea

I disabled Z-Buffer, but gun now looks weird.
I will try some other way.

Maybe you disabled the wrong z-buffer setting? Because that would overwrite the gun (partially). You have to disable the zbuffer test.

OHh, I use this code

Code: Select all

weaponMesh=smgr->getMesh("data/marine_rifle.3ds"); 
	weaponNode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( weaponMesh, camera, -1 );
	 weaponNode->setScale(core::vector3df(6,6,6));
	 weaponNode->setMaterialTexture(0,driver->getTexture("data/marine_rifle.png"));
	 weaponNode->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,false);
	 weaponNode->setMaterialFlag(EMF_ZBUFFER,false);
   weaponNode->setPosition(vector3df(30,-52,100));
   weaponNode->setRotation(vector3df(0, 180,0)); 

And this is how my gun looks with it

How about just scaling your gun down and repositioning it closer to the camera so that it looks the same size but is actually small enough to not go through objects?

Ok, correct setting but due to the many mesh buffers your gun has it's not looking as expected.
