Draw3DLine??? :?

goaty · Post by **goaty** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 10:41 am

How do I draw a 3d line from a scene node ( obviously from it's center position that could be offset via a parent ) to the movement of the cursor ( a 2D coordinate system ) on the screen???? As in knowing the scene nodes 3D vector ( currently static ) and have a line drawn on screen to the moving mouse cursor. I've tried everything.

Hm, does "everything" already include the following functions?

irr::gui::ICursorControl::getPosition
irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition
irr::scene::ISceneCollisionManager::getRayFromScreenCoordinates
irr::video::IVideoDriver::draw3DLine

Haven't done anything yet, but that is what I wanted to do. Just don't know how to go about it at all. A small code example would be fantastic?!?!?

I'll take that as a 'no one knows' how to do this then?

Read up on these functions in the API and it should be clear how you can get what you want working.

More crytics answers, it's like asking a politician!

No worries, sorted it out myself. Thanks anyway for the help.
