more realistic movement effect

game_manic · Post by **game_manic** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 7:37 pm

I was trying to get a weapon of mine to move up and down alittle as i walked around, what i did was made a if statement, that get the input of my keys in my class and also a int up that equaled 0, but anyway as long as i am moving it should go up and down, but it doesn't

So if someone could see if they could solve the problem many thanks

Just use addCameraSceneNode(), FPS varient addCameraSceneNodeFPS(), or the Mayan addCameraSceneNodeMaya()
It'll save you a bit of time.

First of all you arent supposed to ask questions in this forum. Second, he means bobble head effect. Just do it by altering some value... cant put my finger on it now tho....

The Irrlicht Demo example has what I think you're talking about. I'm currently looking through it now to find it.

Found it. You make a camera as you normally do, but add a keymap and number of keys to the function.
Ex. sm->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, rotSpeed, speed, identifer, keymap, keys);

And for keymap you make a keymap of SKeyMap type in an array of how many keys you need, then fill out the action and keycode for each key.
Ex.

Code: Select all

SKeyMap keyMap[8]; //keymap
//fill out the stuff, this makes a common FPS config
			keyMap[0].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
			keyMap[0].KeyCode = KEY_UP;
			keyMap[1].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
			keyMap[1].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_W;
	        
			keyMap[2].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD;
			keyMap[2].KeyCode = KEY_DOWN;
			keyMap[3].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD;
			keyMap[3].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_S;
	        
			keyMap[4].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT;
			keyMap[4].KeyCode = KEY_LEFT;
			keyMap[5].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT;
			keyMap[5].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_A;
	        
			keyMap[6].Action = EKA_STRAFE_RIGHT;
			keyMap[6].KeyCode = KEY_RIGHT;
			keyMap[7].Action = EKA_STRAFE_RIGHT;
			keyMap[7].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_D;

Hope that helps.

EDIT: the word config isn't code, it should be after the word FPS

I'm sorry I didn't realize what you were asking. So you want a bobbling effect for the camera.
I'm not sure, but maybe where the Action is you can add code there, probably seperated by a |. Or that may be just for the camera movement, I'm not sure.
