direction(0), zdirection(0)

sry i dont get it :S

same...i don't understand..
is direction and zdirection being declared in the class itself?

ie
class CGame
{
public:
float direction,zdirection;
};

how and where are we supposed to initialize direction and zdirection?
thank you

It might be because the model itself is turned in another direction.
Try opening other models or maybe open that one in a 3D editor like Blender.

I implemented the code from the original post. But I'm having a problem moving the Player Node.

In my game loop, I change the value of PlayerNode->getPosition, then do a PlayerNode->setPosition.

The problem is that the player node is moving in world coordinates. So no matter which direction the player is facing, when I push forward (up), it translates in the same direction instead of relative (based off of the orientation).

Any help? Maybe I shouldn't use the getPosition and setPosition methods? I see a method for getRelativeTransformation, but nothing for setting a relative translation. Thanks!

I solved the player movement problem by using some math functions for player movement found in someone else's 3rd person camera code.

Reply if anyone wants the snippets, I found them by searching camera code on the forum...

ya anything to make this little 3rd person camnera snippet the best!
