moving weapon model with first person camera?

[boredom]

hi,

i'd like to have a weapon model move with the camera - but making it a child of the camera doesn't seem to work, nor does:

Code: Select all

weaponNode->setRotation(camera->getRotation());
weaponNode->setPosition(camera->getPosition());

this does move the weapon, but it lags behind the camera, and doesn't rotate with it. any suggestions? is this a bug?

thanks!

Just use version 0.4.1 and make it a child of it. This was a bug which is fixed since 0.4.1

Are you using Irrlicht 0.41?

There was a bug in 0.40 that wouldn't allow children to attach to the camera's scene node.

With 0.41, it works again. This is the method that I use to attach a sword and shield.

Sounds GOOD, BUT...

How to compile the new method: setEventReceiver() in 4.1?

[Byron]

To compile with setEventReceiver() I just made myEventReceiver class that extends IEventReceiver have a constructor that does nothing so I can call it like this:

MyEventReceiver *receiver = new MyEventReceiver();
device->setEventReceiver(receiver);

It was a quick fix for me when I want my .04 code to run on .4.2
(also changed creatDevice())
