ISceneNode Array

[communism]

I am trying to create an array of nodes to store each enemy ai "entity" such that I can loop through the array to update positions, animations, joints ect. of each node "entity". They could all be the same mesh for all I care, so long as I can access each member of the array independently and load each one into the "gamespace". Any ideas?

Code: Select all

 
        IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("irrlicht-1.7.3/media/sydney.md2");
        if(!mesh)
        {
                device->drop();
                return 1;
        }
        core::array<scene::ISceneNode *> nodes;
        for(u32 i=0; i < nodes.size(); i++)
        {
                //scene::ISceneNode * node = nodes[i];
                nodes[i]->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh);
                nodes[i]->setPosition(core:vector3df(10*i, 10*i, -10);
                nodes[i]->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
                nodes[i]->setMD2Animation(scene::EMAT_RUN);
                nodes[i]->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("irrlicht-1.7.3/media/sydney.bmp"));
        }

From the code you provided it seams that array size is 0, I can't see where you create and add the nodes to array.

Take a look at the built-in irr::core::array<> template. It works like the STL vector, and handles its size dynamically.

Just looked at the code again, does it even compile??
Cause this line looks totally incorrect:

Code: Select all

nodes[i]->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh);

And as Mel said, you should use it like a stl vector (read the API doc).

Thanks I'll check it out and post back here if its fixed.
