addAnimatedMeshSceneNode hiccups [solved]

[Holiday]

Howdy,
i have cars passing by randomly on the road
they are created, given two animators (one to drive straight and one to delete after they drive a certain time)

the mesh is preloaded, so when a new car creates with addAnimatedMeshSceneNode, the mesh it gets is already loaded from hdd. But the problem is, that when each car gets created, a small, but noticable hiccup appears in their movement.

Any way how to solve this?

Have you tried the clone function? Say your node you want to clone is called car1, and the one you want the clone to be stored in is car2:

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* car2 = car1->clone()

well, the hiccups are gone but the clone method returns an ISceneNode, which i cannot add a shadowVolumeNode to and it doesnt clone the shadowVolumeNode attached to the original node..

Even though you fixed the problem, I'd like to fix the code I gave you:

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* car2 = static_cast<IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*>(car1->clone());

I forgot that it returned just an ISceneNode.

works wonderful, thank you
