CursorControl

[Gao]

Hi all!

I have a scene with CursorControl and i made if i press ESC key than the programm shows the ingame menu.. i wanna drop the CursorControl for this time and i wanna get it back if i press the Cancel button... how can i drop the CursorControl cause the device->getCursorControl()->drop(); don't works here..

First off, you never want to drop a pointer that is not owned by you. If you do that, you will throw off the reference count and the object will be deleted and other parts of the code will have pointers to a deleted object. This will cause your program to crash.

I'm pretty sure you don't want to drop the cursor control. You probably want to call CursorControl->setVisible(true) when the dialog is displayed and CursorControl->setVisible(false) when the dialog is dismissed.

I MADE IT YIPPPPIIIII

smgr->setActiveCamera(0);
device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(true);

i know this isn't the best but it works now thanks for the help

Gao if you must reactivate the camera you can use the method of the ICameraSceneNode that enable or disable the keyboard control.

camera.setInputReceiverEnabled( bool flag )

It can make your life simple in case you need to switch in a simple way the controls sharing a bool var.

[Gao]

scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera;

camera->setInputReceiverEnabled(false);

and

camera->setInputReceiverEnabled(false);

like this?

whan the programm arrive this part it crashes

[vitek]

You have to set the pointer camera to refer to a valid ICameraSceneNode instance. Typically you would ask the scene manager for the active camera...

Code: Select all

scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera = SceneManager->getActiveCamera();

You should check pointers to make sure that they are not NULL before using them also...

Code: Select all

if (camera != NULL)
  camera->setInputReceiverEnabled(false);

i'm crying :(

crash

i'm trying to make it

[sdi2000]

meditate about a second cam
if pressed esc activate a static cam with the same pos, rot and upvector.
if u release ur gamemenu activate the ingame cam...
its quite simple

[Guest]

how can i do that?

setActriveCam();

and what need in the bracket...

sorry but i'm very very beginner

[sdi2000]

create a new static cam and an empty cam node

Code: Select all

scene::ICameraSceneNode *staticCam = smgr->addCameraSceneNode();
scene::ICameraSceneNode *lastStateCam = NULL;


void switchToMenuCam(bool _menuCam)
{
  if(_menuCam)
  {
    lastStateCam = smgr->getActiveCamera();
    if(lastStateCam != NULL)
    {
      //copy the pos, rot(aka target) and upvector 
      //for the same view, but you dont need, if you dont want it
      staticCam->setPosition(lastStateCam->getPosition());
      staticCam->setTarget(lastStateCam->getTarget());
      staticCam->setUpVector(lastStateCam->getUpVector());
      
      //activate the static cam without any cursor events
      smgr->setActiveCamera(staticCam);
    }
  }
  else
  {
    if(lastStateCam != NULL)
    {
      //reactivate the in game cam
      smgr->setActiveCamera(lastStateCam);
    }
  }
}

but why detain to use ur brain? look in the api doc

[Gao]
