Object Stats

[Richard_Smith159]

Hi all,
Recently downloaded Irrlicht and I absolutely love it.

The tutorials and forum are really helpful but I have a question I could use some help with.

The game I'm making is an RTS, so I need to get object data when I click on the mesh. How would I get things like the remaining hit points of a building by clicking on the mesh representing it?

For example (in case I haven't explained myself well ):

Say I have a class called Building_A. This class has a property called health and a mesh called Building_A_Mesh. How would I get the current value of health if I were to click on the mesh in game?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Rich

The irrlicht functions will give you the scenenode you clicked on. In your data you might have a mapping from that to the building.

std::map<ISceneNode *, mybuilding *> nodeToBuilding;
