toggle gravity?

[WaxyChicken]

I'm trying to figure out how to add/remove gravity to the FPS camera on demand.

As far as i can tell, you make 2 animators.

one animator is CreateCollisionResponseAnimator WITH gravity (Gravity = n )
the other animator is
CreateCollisionResponseAnimator WITHOUT gravity (Gravity = 0)

To toggle gravity ON you would

FPSCamera.RemoveAnimator (Collision Response Animator WITHOUT gravity)
FPSCamera.AddAnimator (Collision Response Animator WITH gravity)

and vice-versa to toggle gravity off.

is there a more efficient way other than adding and removing the entire world collision animators?

i haven't tried the method above yet but, not knowing the details of how animators are handled in Irrlicht, it sounds like it would be very cumbersome.

irrlicht 1.7.2 or irrlicht 1.8.0-Alpha (i can use either one if needed. release 1.7.2 is preferred)

(PS: i hope i'm making sense. i've been up a very long time)

Uhm, there's :

Code: Select all

//! Sets the gravity of the environment.
                virtual void setGravity(const core::vector3df& gravity);

in ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse.
