CAmera movement Problems

[TomBishop]

Hi there!
I just played around a bit with Irrlicht.NET and tried to create my own custom camera control. For that I added a camera scene node and an event receiver which sets the target and the position of the camera. That works, but it really looks ugly becasuse there is always a redraw between setting the new position and the target of the camera... is there a way to set the target (look at) and the position at once or another method to fix that?

Thanks Tom

Try calling updateAbsolutePosition() for the camera after changing its position and target.

Thanks, but my problem is that the update process occurs so often that you first see the change of the position and than the change of the target...

I have got the same problem !! can you tell me how did you solve your problem. It's really boring this stuff !!

I gave up on setTargetPos(), and just calculate the camera rotation manually, like this:

Code: Select all

	vector3df fwd = lookatpoint - m_pCamera->getPosition();
	vector3df angle=fwd.getHorizontalAngle();
	m_pCamera->setRotation(angle);
