Random paths

[st0ph]

Hello there ^^

I was wondering how can I associate random paths to my secondary caracters as like in coppercube, but this time with code ?

I don't know what coppercube does.... is this about having objects follow a fixed path somehow? Take a look at ISceneManager::createFollowSplineAnimator. That might be what you are looking for (or something similar).

If I understood his post correctly...
He wants something similar to a fixed path for the object to follow, but he wants it randomly generated during runtime.

I wanted to use

Code: Select all

createFollowSplineAnimator

but it does not rotate the node when the mesh is supposed to turn :/

Hm, yeah - I think we have no animator for that so far. So you'll have to write your own (you can maybe start by copying the code of that one - and then just adapt the rotation). Or write a patch that allows rotation to happen as well (controlled by a flag), then we can apply that to the engine.

You may take a look at the class NpcPathControl in the snippets:

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =9&t=46437

Simple use (see also main.cpp):

Code: Select all

NpcPathControl* npcPathControl = new NpcPathControl(device, fairy);
npcPathControl->setSpeed(200.0f);
npcPathControl->setWaypoints(points);
npcPathControl->start();
 

and in the main loop:

Code: Select all

npcPathControl->update();

I think I also have some patch for such an animator somewhere. So there should be at least some code on the forums for exactly such an animator.
