how to modify camera behaviour

[r0d]

Hello

i will try to make a strategy game with IrrLicth. I already got the model done (i always follow the MVC - Model View Controler - pattern), and the controler will need fiew changes. Neither the audio part won't change very much i guess.

The main work is on the view part: the 3d scene in my case.

I compiled the tutorial 12 (terrain rendering), and it's perfect for what i need. But there's something i don't understand: how to modify the behaviour of the camera.

I undestood that the first step is to intercept the event with an EventReceiver, and return true on OnEvent to avoid others treatments on the event. But i don't understand how to move the camera The interface ICameraSceneNode don't have member functions such as Rotate() or Move().

You have to implement ICameraSceneNode yourself or use one of the existing cameras of Irrlicht (e.g. the FPS or Maya-style camera)

ICameraSceneNode is derived from ISceneNode, so all of the ISceneNode methods also apply, i.e. setPosition().

Cameras as a bit funny about rotations though. ICameraSceneNode::setTarget() is the most unambiguous method of telling a camera where to look. You can use ISceneNode::setRotation(), if you call ICameraSceneNode::bindTargetAndRotation(true) first (this is the default for FPS cameras).
