FPS question

[dark chazz]

Hi.
Can anyone tell me the simplest way (that can also be done in old versions of Irrlicht) to add a player model (means the model that I will be playing as) , and a weapon model to the right side of the FPS camera?

Before answering, it would be helpful to know what you are trying to accomplish. It sounds like you want a first-person perspective... if that is the case, why would you want a player model?

I assume the weapon is from the first-person view. If that is the case, you should add the gun object to world at a fixed offset from the camera, then tweak that offset until the gun looks like where you want it.

set parent or something the weapon to the camera

ok.
one more question is there a way to do clickable text instead of buttons (for the GUI system not for fps) ?

Check out the docs/API for IGUIButton and you'll see setDrawBorder(bool) which might just draw the text instead of the button as well. Also you could use a transparent texture on the button which might prevent the button itself being drawn too.

ok cool.
