get to get the xPosition of an object

[804]

I'm going to program a minecraft like terrain, but I have a simple problem

I don't know how to get the x-position of my objects (blocks).
I tried this,

Code: Select all

node->getPosition();

but it only returns the 3df position-vector.

By the way, what do you think about these photos:

(the photo shows an chunk of blocks created by my simple world generator)
Sorry for my bad english, but I'm an german

but what? Maybe you have problems opening API page and finding functions for what you need?
if so: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/namespaces.html
find the scene node interface and find the function that returns you position, press on the return value and it will open up documentation for that value type. Or just find vector class in documentation.

Just say which function I should use

PS: What do you think about the images?

[serengeor]

I can't see the images, and you there's no function to get them and theres no need since pos values are public members.

since pos values are public members.

Sorry, I don't knew this.

whats the name of these variables ?

[serengeor]

Just look at the API doc, It's going to be a nightmare for you if you can't read doc of api of the library that you're using to develop you project with..

Sorry, you can't post images in your first post (protecting our users from occasional spam-images).
But serengeor gave you already the correct link for vertex documentation - check the Public Attributes section until you find some variable which looks like it could stand for the 'x' part of a vector ;-)

Code: Select all

core::vector3df::X

But how to get the position of my object?

PS: I posted the links to the images in my first reply.

node->getPosition().X;

PS: Still can't see your images.
