problem with setTarget...silly

[flyingsaucer]

hy...i am not so trained with irrlicht...but i have a strange problem...

i am not able to set 0 as a value for the vetor3df ....i want to set setTarget() to the point 80, 20, 0 ...but with setting 0 for z it keeps the original target..with 0.001 for z it works...not with 0...what am i doing wrong??

please... ^_^

How are you doing this? Have you tried

Code: Select all

setTarget(core::vector3df(80.0f,20.0f,0.0f);

It shouldn't matter, but vector3df, if I remember right, is a class that, for all intents and purposes, is nothing more than 3 floats. Give that a try. Otherwise, please post an example of how you're specifying the target.

does not work ...camera looks only in z - direction


camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100.0f,500.0f, -1, keyMap, ;

scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
selector, camera, core::vector3df(30,50,30),
core::vector3df(0,-100,0), 100.0f,
core::vector3df(0,50,0));



//camera->addAnimator(anim);
camera->setTarget(core::vector3df(-150.0f,20.0f,0.0f));
camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(-40,20,0));
camera->updateAbsolutePosition();



i think a great value for z is used...because the camera looks in the z - direction ....have no clue why..

You sure you're not locked on the X Axis? Because, according to your code:

Code: Select all

camera->setTarget(core::vector3df(-150.0f,20.0f,0.0f)); 
camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(-40,20,0)); 
camera->updateAbsolutePosition(); 

Code: Select all

you're staring down the X Axis.  If your camera is truly looking straight up or straight down, it sounds like a divide by zero issue inside Irrlicht.  That would require the expertise of Niko or someone more versed with the inner workings of the engine than I.

another crazy thing is that even if i change the direction of the x - value ... 150 instead of -150 the look at does not change ...

i guess it is normal because this is the fps camera which depends on your mouse device, change your camera into a normal one and go from there.
