Children transformation delayed

[Nova]

Hi everyone,

this has possibly been discussed before, but I wasn't able to find any useful information. So here it goes:

I want to attach a sword to the hand bone of my character.

Code: Select all

Sword = Core->Smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh, Node->getJointNode( "Bip01 R Hand" ) );

This works as expected, the problem is that the swords position is not updated in time. It is delayed. I drew the debugData of the skeleton but the debug Lines are updated correctly. Only my sword is late...

Hopefully someone understands my explanation. Thank you in advance for any help

i had the same problem before, and rogerborg helped to me with this code:

Code: Select all

void UpdateAbsoluteTransformationAndChildren(ISceneNode *Node)
{
   Node->updateAbsolutePosition();
   core::list<ISceneNode*>::ConstIterator it = Node->getChildren().begin();
   for (; it != Node->getChildren().end(); ++it)
   {
      UpdateAbsoluteTransformationAndChildren((*it));
   }
}

call it to your node before drawAll

I ran into the same problem and tried to fix it with the UpdateAbsoluteTransformationAndChildren codes.
However, it still doesn't work if I have animators attach to the character node.

After looking through the source code (v 1.5), I found that the problem is there because somehow in CBoneSceneNode.cpp line 77, the line with "updateAbsolutePosition();" is being commented out.

Seems like the problem is solved by uncommenting that line and recompile the irrlicht engine.

Is there any particular reason that the line is being commented out?
