Getting node parent

[Tyn]

Hey

It appears that there is no function to get a node's parent, is there a way to get access to the node.Parent attribute without having to add a getParent function to ISceneNode?

Also, before I get the parent node, how can I check whether the node has a parent? It would only cause error's if I try to store a non-existant parent into a node, once I try to use that node it will cause a crash.

Cheers.

Hi Tyn,
seems there is no other way to get the parent than implementing getParent() in ISceneNode. But it's easy (no other file has to be changed) and works well. I wonder why it's not in there by default. Maybe Niko just forgot.

ISceneNode.h

Code: Select all

virtual ISceneNode* getParent() {
	return Parent;
}

Also checkin if there is a parent has same easyness:

Code: Select all

if (node->getParent()) {
	...
}

greets,

Yeah, that's what I was planning to do. Should be something that is in the engine by default, like you said.

This is a very important feature. It must be set as default.
