Draw3DLine

[jpeq]

I really don't get it yet...
How can I put a line in the 3D space inside a node?
Like,

Code: Select all

scene::ISceneNode* MyNode = 0;
MyNode = driver->draw3DLine(core::vector3df(0.0f,0.06f,0.0f), core::vector3df(55.0f,0.06f,0.0f), video::SColor(255,100,101,140));

The compiler simply tells me that there's an incompatibility of types. How to solve it?

Thanks.[/i]

The compiler error you get is due to the void return value of the method. You simply call that method and the line is drawn. No scene node that is generated. The line is simply drawn to the buffer and will be removed in the next drawing cycle. That's why you either have to call it from the main render loop or from within a scene node's render method.

I want to be able to select some lines, and display information about them. I guess it must be embeded in a node somehow for that. Or not?

I did it from the main render node, and it worked great. But I still can't interact with it. How can I call it from within a scene node?


Thanks.

You have to create a custom scene node, i.e. create a CLineSceneNode.h and .cpp which implements the necessary methods. In render() you call the draw3dLine(). Then you can use the scene node methods.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
I see!

That solves my problem (so far).

Many thanks!
