Attaching a node to the camera position?

[Dirtbiker]

I need to attach a node to the camera position and keep the rotation static.
I set the node as a child and it follows the camera position and rotation. I tried setting the node to the position of the camera and the node has the slightest lag.
How could I set the position without setting the rotation and causing lag?

Try to make the node a child of the cam and then when camera rotates reset the node rotation so it's always fixed. Just an idea, I'm quite new to irrlicht. Hope this helps.

Tried that, did'nt work. It accutally froze my rotation animator.

I did not try this, but did you try to call updateAbsolutePosition() for the camera, before geting his position ???

You can do this without adding child. In my atmosphere project i used camera position to set sun position. look to void prep_interpolation in atmosphere.cpp on 372 line.

That is a really good camera, if I could only figure out how to get it to move the way I would like.
