Hello everybody!

How can i implement rotation in irrlicht gui? I want something like rotation property in IGUIElement. Do i need to rewrite all gui classes to do it?

Unfortunately, yes

Currently IGUIElement doesn't have a scale or rotation, the clipping and picking all works using rectangles, and there are no draw2dimage/rectangle calls that have rotation (including fonts)

However, you could render the GUI to a texture and rotate this in 3D

and RGRBRG said : let there be GUI rotation methods. and there were GUI rotation methods.
