Camera teleportation

[HackLeX]

The question is:
How to teleport the camera bound by collision responce system?
When I try to set its position, it moves to the closest possible point
on the scene (the scene is a single BSP) and gets stucked...

Could anyone come up with an example of teleporting a collision responce-bound camera?

there are probably more threads about this, just search the forum...

Thanks for your answer and for your search, but there is no solution in
the topic mentioned above, just a discussion about how bad the situation is.

I found no switch for enable/disable the collision response animator, but you can remove and add it !!!
So if you want to move the node use removeAnimator(ISceneNodeAnimator *animator) to remove the animator...

this is the solution mentioned in the thread...
in short terms:
1. remove the animator from the camera
2. move the camera
3. add a new animator to the camera

this is (currently) the only way to do it (AFAIK)...

Oh... My excuses.
I never mind that method as a proper solution.

Okay... But anyway, these points must be set up properly in the later
versions of irrLicht IMHO...

Thanks for your answer and your time

I suppose you could add a bool parameter to setPosition which could be used to override the animator... Feel free to make the change and submit a patch

In 1.5, the animator has a setNode() method that allows this to work without modifying or rebuilding the library.
