Rotate object using cursor inputs

[henkten]

Hi everyone , I'm new to irrlicht, so please bear with me.

I'm trying to get an cube to rotate when I move the mouse, on the x & y planes, corresponding to the x and y values from Cursor input.

I used the cursor's getPosition function, put it in 3d vector, used it in setRotation, but I didn't get it to work.

Thank you all for helping me out & for your time.

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace irr;
#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")

int main()
{
	IrrlichtDevice* device = createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, core::dimension2d<s32>(640, 480),
		16, false, false, false);// &receiver
	if (device == 0)
		return 1; // could not create selected driver.

	video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
	scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();

	scene::ISceneNode * node = smgr->addCubeSceneNode();
	if (node)
	{
	node->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,30));
	node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("../../media/wall.bmp"));
		node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	}
	scene::ICameraSceneNode * cam = smgr->addCameraSceneNode();
	
   device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);

   int lastFPS = -1;

 while(device->run())
	{
        core::position2di cursormain = device->getCursorControl()->getPosition();
        core::vector3df cursormain3dv(cursormain.X,cursormain.Y,0);
        core::vector3df v = node->getRotation();
        node->setRotation(v+cursormain3dv);
        driver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(255,113,113,133));

            smgr->drawAll(); // draw the 3d scene
	driver->endScene();
	}
	device->drop();
	return 0;
}

I imagine that your whole program is going to be pretty short. I'd suggest that you post it (inside

Code: Select all

 tags) rather that have us guess exactly what it is that you're doing.

I've found another post in the forums that explains what I'm trying to do(searched forum before I posted this topic, but apparently didn't search thoroughly enough), but I don't know how to delete this topic though. I apprecite the advice still Rogerborg.

You don't need to delete it, just link to the forum entry you found and it will help people searching for the same topic

Thanks for the advice Hybrid, I concur. Here's the page with almost identical request and solution-
