[fixed]How to clone 'DummyTransformationSceneNodes'

[Voxel]

Hi,

I read in a Collada file with a composite scene node structure. Here a short trace of the structure with scene node name and scene node type:

Code: Select all

 
"MyNode2" dmmy
    "MyNode-mesh" mesh
        "MyNode_001" dmmy
            "MyNode_002-mesh" mesh
        "MyNode_002" dmmy
            "MyNode_002-mesh" mesh
 

If I want to apply a position to that node I have to include a parent (empty) node because of the 'DummyTransformationSceneNode'.

But when I want to make a copy of that node using the clone() method the node stucture will not be cloned because 'DummyTransformationSceneNode' does not implement the clone() method and the ISceneNode::clone() method does nothing.

I think I have two options to clone the node structure:
1. Reading the Collada file multiple times adding new parent (empty) scene nodes.
2. Writing a 'clone' function out of the box.

What do you think would be the best way to go? Do you have any other ideas?
Maybe a last question: Can someone tell me why clone method is not implemented for 'DummyTransformationNodes'?

Hope I could make myself understood.

Thanks,
Voxel

Not implemented clone... hm... basically that's just missing. Shouldn't be that hard to implement for DummyTransformationSceneNode, I'll put it on my todo (but might take a few days - I got already a few other bugs on it for this week).

CuteAlien, thank you for your feedback!

Looks like this was fixed already. Do we need a serialize/deserialize here as well?

Wish I knew why I didn't add serialization as well... I think it should be there.
