Jumping with the FPS camera?
Jumping with the FPS camera?
I've just been playing around with Irrlicht, and the only way I can jump with the FPS camera is to look up and walk forward (Which I'd rather not be able to do).

then the user presses the 'jump' key, set a boolean 'isJumping' to true.
every update, check this boolean. If its true, then increase your camera's position in the Y direction. Of course, you'll only want them to be able to jump, not fly, so you might limit how long they can do this, or only let them jump from a 'standing' position.
Its not very easy to modify the IrrLicht FPS camera to do this-- Instead, I suggest you create your own camera class to handle it. You can look for topics in the HowTo section that discuss custom cameras.

In fact, I'm conviced it will be better to attach a new animator (like CSceneNodeAnimatorJump) to the camera (or any other object) since the camera implements ISceneNode interface.
E.g. when I needed "rocking" of some of my objects I created such animator. Actually it was just a "bi-directional rotator". But still it's a good architecture, and the power is that you don't have to create your own camera (with your own bugs but you can just attach animator insead. Every moving shoud be performed with a corresponding animator.
Actually, the best way is to implement an animator based on timer events.
Also look at this http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?p=6577. It can help, cause jumpin can be calculated with the real physics engine.
Am I right?
