(C++) Simple to use Event Receiver class for Irrlicht 1.3

[Ulf]

I am disappointed that noone questioned the validity and purpose of the code.
Rather, they just help fix the syntax of the code! Why waste time helping someone with syntax when the objective is wrong or misunderstood?

After all this time, noone has developed a proper input handler for a game?
Guess I better stop gas bagging and do it..

It may not be the best code, but I see it fairly useful for a quick input handler. I also see the use for pressed and release situations...

example:
hit KEY to toggle variable
handling just down (which you can check with a basic event receiver in tutorial 04)
it will toggle every frame rendered unless you add in another variable to make sure it only toggles once per keystroke
- so having pressed/release does that for you

I agree this is not a proper input handler for a game, but it is a decent handler for quick and easy (test/demo/etc)

I am going to be using this code for now, has the basic functionality I need right now. But I also look forward to seeing yours Ulf (might have to switch later )

edit: opfh, there we go, forgot to do device->setEventReceiver()...

had to add a mouseHasMoved() method too, but all in all thanks.

If anyones interested, I've started my game engine event handler project..

Hello,

Nice class, thanks!

i have changed

Code: Select all

virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event)

To:

Code: Select all

virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)

everything works, but the first person shooter style user controlled camera stopped working..

Code: Select all

smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS();

it get ignored...

I also have that problem

I have that problem too. Anyone have any ideas how to keep the camera working?

Are you sure the problem isn't in fact that you are not passing the events on for the FPS camera to see?

I just started again to use it, can you please explain what you mean and show how to fix it??

[mongoose7]

If you return true from the event receiver, the event is not passed on. Return false and the event will be passed on.

Still the same problem..
