Camera Movement

[Guest]

i have loaded my own Q3 level, and now want to add a FPS camera (without going throught the walls, and with gravity). The collision tutorial is confusing me because im not really an experienced programmer.
Im only intrested in the camera movement in the collision tutorial for now. Can some please paste some code for that?

Code: Select all

	device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("../../media/map-20kdm2.pk3");

	
	scene::IAnimatedMesh* q3levelmesh = smgr->getMesh("20kdm2.bsp");
	scene::ISceneNode* q3node = 0;
	
	if (q3levelmesh)
		q3node = smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(q3levelmesh->getMesh(0));

	scene::ITriangleSelector* selector = 0;
	
	if (q3node)
	{		
		q3node->setPosition(core::vector3df(-1370,-130,-1400));

		selector = smgr->createOctTreeTriangleSelector(q3levelmesh->getMesh(0), q3node, 128);
		q3node->setTriangleSelector(selector);
		selector->drop();
	}


	scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera = 
		smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0,100.0f,300.0f);
	camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(-100,50,-150));

	scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
		selector, camera, core::vector3df(30,50,30),
		core::vector3df(0,-100,0), 100.0f, 
		core::vector3df(0,50,0));
	camera->addAnimator(anim);
	anim->drop();

thats the main part

this works fine with the map that comes with Irrlicht
but in my level i fall throught the floor forever
im guessing that i start of just below the floor, so please tell me which value to change (im really new to this )

[Spintz]

in the camera->SetPosition ( X, Y, Z ) call, increase the Y value to start out higher

[Guest]

works perfectly
thanks a lot for the help !
