[SOLVED] Bone to Bone (coat sleeve to player arm)

[LunaRebirth]

Hello again,
I've got a problem I can't work out.

I'm trying to make an option to change your coat, and the coat has bones alike to the player bones.

I want to attach the coat sleeve bone to the node arm bone.

I've tried the following:

Code: Select all

IBoneSceneNode* test1 = coatNode->getJointNode("Sleeve1");
IBoneSceneNode* test2 = node->getJointNode("Arm1");
test1->addParent(test2);

This doesn't seem to work?

I've also just tried doing:

Code: Select all

coatNode->setJointMode(EJUOR_CONTROL);
coatNode->getJointNode("Sleeve1")->setPosition(node->getJointNode("Arm1")->getPosition());

Also failed.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

coatNode->getJointNode("Sleeve1")->setParent(node->getJointNode("Arm1"));

Failed.

I understand how to attach nodes to bones, as such:

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMesh* coatNode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(coatMesh);
IBoneSceneNode* coatBone = coatNode->getJointNode("Bone");
coatNode->setJointMode(irr::scene::EJUOR_CONTROL);
coatNode->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture(imgPath));
coatNode->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,false);
 
coatNode->setParent(coatBone);

But if I try to attach each bone rather than node on bone, it doesn't seem to work...?

Nevermind, I was really overthinking this problem.

I made the coatNode attach to the player node, so the coat aligns to the player's body.
The body sleeves weren't moving, and I thought I had to use setPosition().
Turns out, I can just do this:

Code: Select all

coatNode->getJointNode("Sleeve1")->setRotation(node->getJointNode("Arm1")->getRotation());

And it works!
Sorry, would remove this dumb post if I could.
