attatching dynamic light to a camera node

[Dan911]

In latest svn update, example 21 loads a q3 map and a player node which has collision and a weapon model parented to the player node. I have been trying to attach a dynamic light to the player node also, but am having some trouble.

I have been trying to addLightSceneNode and parent it to the player node. The code compiles, but i see no light. I would really appreciate it if somebody helped point me in the right direction.

Here is my code for adding a light( based on API documentation http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/cl ... 37ccdb7095)

Code: Select all

// add light to player scene node
	scene::ILightSceneNode* light1 = 
		smgr->addLightSceneNode(
		smgr->getActiveCamera(), //parent node
		core::vector3df(0,0,0),
		video::SColorf(0.5f, 1.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f), 200.0f);

I think my possible errors could be:

• setting a light to a parent node does not also set the original pos of the light also(parameter 3)
  
  the light is not being rendered
  
  i am not setting the parent correctly

Here is the code from example 21, my code starts at line 277

tried setting setMaterialType(video::EMT_SOLID) of the map, no avial, now entire map just bright

How about enabling lighting on the node?

I'm pretty sure lighting isn't enabled on Quake 3 maps. You have to change the material type to one of these:

EDIT: Most likely EMT_LIGHTMAP_LIGHTING.
