I can't find how to get the values for x,y,z using aboslute

[speedy15453]

I know I saw the code to get the values for x,y,z but i can't find it now.
I am using absoluteposition.


it was something like this:

Code: Select all

z=node.getpostion(core_vector3df(.x .y .z))

Could post the correct code .

Thank You!

You can use getAbsolutePosition, see documentation: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/cl ... b9ead4c9a9

As you can see it returns a core::vector3df.

I just can't find the code to get the values for x,y,z .
I understand it is core_vector3df. I need to check the values to find out where the node is in world positions after I make rotations to the node.

it RETURNS a vector3df, it does not modify variables that you pass in.

Code: Select all

if (node)
{
    // get the position of the node and store the values in the variable named pos 
    vector3df pos = node.getPosition();

    // print out the values of the variable named pos
    printf("Node is at position (%f %f %f)\n",pos.X,pos.Y,pos.Z)); 
} 
else printf("Node is not valid\n");

I can't get it to work using my IDE (realbasic with Irrlicht plugin "franklin3d")

Code: Select all

      node1.updateAbsolutePosition  ' works
      pos2 = node1.getAbsolutePosition() 'works
      printf("Node is at position (%f %f %f)\n",pos2.X,pos2.Y,pos2.Z)) '"this method or property does not exist" 
      ' I tried different variations and nothing. 

anyother sugestions?

the printf function isnt required for what you want to do, it was just an example for you to understand how the vector3df works. just use the values hwoever you need.

vector3df pos = node->getPosition();

do something with

pos.X
pos.Y
pos.Z

With my plug in I hve to use the following code:

Code: Select all

pos.x_
pos.y_
pos.z_
