[feature request] ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse

[randomMesh]

Hi,

i want to teleport an fps camera. Since it's a node with an attached ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse, i have to call setTargetNode() afterwards in order for the teleportation to work.

Code: Select all

camera->setPosition(somePosition);
camera->setTarget(someTarget);

anim->setTargetNode(camera);

This works fine for the position, but unfortunately setTargetNode() doesn't update the internal state of the animator for the camera's target.

In my opinion the ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse should keep track of the last rotation of a node (or target if it's a camera), like it does for the last position with the member LastPosition, so you can set a custom target when 'teleporting' a camera.

Removing the old animator, teleport the node and attach a clone is a bit ugly.

What do you think?

Edit: As a workaround you can use camera->updateAbsolutePosition(); after camera->setPosition(). Didn't think of that.
