rotate scene node

[Varn1807]

How can i make an animation to rotate a scene node for 180 degrees and then stop.
Is there a specific function?
Because CreateRotationAnimator it rotates it non-stop. I want it to stop after it rotates 180 degrees.

Thanks

Doesn't seem to be supported so far. So you have to write your own animator for that.

and may i ask some ideeas how to do that??

I would take the source of the RotationAnimator as a start point. Then simply add a check if the rotation is 180 degrees and from there on stop any further rotation.

thanks for the advice I have done it
now for another question( i'm sorry if i'm asking too many questions ), i don't need any code I only need ideas.
for example how do you make a scene node appeear , it does it's animation, then another one appears, it does it's animation and so on.
I don't want all of them to appear at the same time and do their animations, I want them to appear in an order.
Thanks

You might need another layer for logic to do this and do the things exactly as you said yourself.

have no idea about layers can you explain a bit

I mean on top of irrlicht framework that would do what you want. It might be some Object classes that hold nodes and manipulates them the way you need. Also a manager for those object would be nice (Like scene manager irn irrlicht). It's up to you to design it.

I have a somewhat similar question. Nodes that I have created can be moved by WASD keys. I want them to face the direction in which they're moving. Say, if they're facing east, I want them to instantly turn west when I push A. However, I just can't seem to find a way to turn the ndoes. There's a rotation animator, but that's not what I want. I just need the node to instantly turn around. Is there a method which takes the angle of rotation as a parameter, and then instantly performs rotation?

Maybe go throught the examples first. They have a purpose: Learning the basics of Irrlicht. Anyway, check the scene node API. There's also rotation and movement without animators.

You're right, thanks. I've found a way to rotate it successfully.
