Rotating camera

[RollieMe]

Hi,

Tutorial 3 shows you how to rotate a custom scene node using CreateRotationAnimator().

I'm trying to apply this animator to the camera instead and, although it doesn't error it doesn't seem to do anything either.

Is the below code supported or am I expecting too much?

Code: Select all

	

	scene::ICameraSceneNode * camera;
	camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNode(0,core::vector3df(0,-150,400), core::vector3df(0,0,0));

        scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* camera_rotator =
		smgr->createRotationAnimator(core::vector3df(0.8f,0,0.8f));

	if(camera_rotator)
	{
		camera->addAnimator(camera_rotator);

	}

Thanks

it's probably because cameras don't react on rotation settings...
try bindTargetAndRotation() on the camera first...

Thanks for the reply Acki. Calling that function did make the camera respond to the animator. However, I'm still not quite getting the effect I expected.

I've done some reading on the bindTargetAndRotation() method and I think I'll put this problem aside until I have a better overall understanding of Irrlicht.

Cheers
