You'll need an IEventReceiver to capture the keyboard input.

Cast your object as IAnimatedMeshSceneNode and use AnimationSpeed to make the model walk. (IE set the speed to 0 by default and when the user presses a key set the AnimationSpeed to whatever it needs to be.).

Lastly you can use SetFrameLoop to manage what of the mesh is rendered.

Then you just need to update the position and rotation of the object depending on the speed you want the model to walk and its rotation

I can set a key but i cant code in that case.
i have no idea to make it walk.

switch(event.KeyInput.Key)
{
case KEY_KEY_W:
{
****** I dont know, how to code in this ******
}

case KEY_KEY_W:
{
vector3df moveForward = yourNodeName->getAbsolutePosition();
moveForward.Y += 50; // Work with this part to find the correct direction
yourNodeName->setPosition(moveForward);
}

Thanks XFactor. that code is worked. but it not smooth.

are there any way to make it smooth.

thanks everybody.

Hi !

I think you should use an Animator like this:

case KEY_KEY_W:
{
vector3df moveForward = yourNodeName->getAbsolutePosition();
moveForward.Y += 50;
ISceneNodeAnimator* runto = SceneManager->createFlyStraightAnimator(
yourNodeName->getAbsolutePosition(), moveForward, time, 0);
yourNodeName->addAnimator(runto);
runto->drop();
}

PS : "time" is a constant which will define your model speed.

Look at the wiki page and search for bool keys[].

If you use array of booleans to tell if a key is pressed, movement should be smother.
