Scene node rendering options

Post by Abraxas) »

Hello,

Would it be possible to get a bool field in the ISceneNode class so that it will go through the whole animate sequence without rendering? That way we could manually render a complex tree of nodes without the mess of setvisible?

Thanks.

I think you can do that by calling OnAnimate for the node.

I wasn't clear. I'm looking for a field that during ->drawall calls OnAnimate but NOT render. This way collision detection and other engine related processes work since the node is technically "visible" but doesn't actually display on screen.

Yeah, I guess we don't have that - although you might render using a NullDevice to have that effect in case you can do that in your situation.
