FPS Camera Tutorial

[Tech^salvager]

Why don't you post the code up of your having trouble with it?

[guest001]

I couldn't get the weapon to be there,i copyed the tutorial code word for word,but it is not there althougth the code compiled without any errors so i don't know what the ' ' is wrong with the code!!

Same here.
Is setPosition() relative to the parent, or it world coordinates? That might be the problem, but I called it with the camera position + 5 or 10 and it still isn't visible.

[Guest]

Thats because of your model, keep trying to re-position. You'll get it right sooner or later

That, and checking output via EDT_NULL, it says something about no texture or materials or something, so I'm guessing it's drawn invisible.

I had the same problem. It´s long I am working only on code and not on modelling. But I guess the problem is about the way model was exported. I haven´t used the irrlicht official exporters and maybe it is about that. I won´t test it right now tho...

Not sure if it helps guys, but the code i use to show my weapon in fps is

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMesh* weapon = smgr->getMesh("../../Static Meshes/assaultrifle.3ds");
	scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* weapon1 = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( weapon );

	weapon1->setParent(camera);
    weapon1->setPosition(core::vector3df(72,-80,110));

It displays it in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Hope this helps...

This wouldn't matter because all models are different. You guys just need to keep re-positioning until you get it right.
