Attaching Children to the Camera's Scenenode

[saigumi]

I think I'm doing this right and tried a few ways to get the same effect. I should be able to attach children to the Camera, right? Just the same way that you set a node to any other parent scene node?

camera is my camera.

Code: Select all

Player.SwordNode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../../media/sword.ms3d"),camera,-1,irr::core::vector3df(-30.0f,-10.0f,0.0f),irr::core::vector3df(90,35,90),irr::core::vector3df(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f));

The other hack I tried was to move the scenenodes to the camera's position every frame, setPosition worked fine. But this didn't do anything.

Code: Select all

Sword.NodePointer->setRotation(camera->getRotation());

Are you trying to for example get a gun to display in front of the camera for a fps or a sword for an rpg?

Yep, attaching the sword + shield.

Figured that I'd slap both on and use animators for the normal joggle during movement and the slashing/blocking. It works the same for the rest of the players that are viewable as I'm attaching the weaponry to their central block scenenode. Though it doesn't set the camera as a parent when I create the node nor when I use setParent.

Hm, seems to be a bug. I'll check this.
