FPS camera using keys only

[hungryninja]

I am making a 3D editor for a game I'm making. I want to use an fps camera, but it uses the mouse, which I need for the editor. I want to use the numpad instead.

Take a look at the CSceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS.cpp file, it contains the animator used for the FPS camera

You can then build your own animator with numpad controls based on the implementation in that file

make 2 cameras,

a fixed camera and a FPS camera;

switch from one to the other with Mouse_Right or a key;

here is an example where is used SPACE to commute between the 2 cameras; (edit mode and menu mode);

Why would you want to use 2 cameras when you can easily achieve this with just 1 camera? From what I make up from it hungryninja just wants to rotate the camera with the numpad instead of the mouse

Irrlicht's scenenode system was designed to be easily manipulated by animators, why not use that system then?

having 2 cameras is a practice in many editor enviroments

nahh
if you want to go with switching by pressing space simply enable/disable the inputs for the fps camera !!!

Code: Select all

irr::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setInputReceiverEnabled( bool  enabled )
