Terrain collisions VIA IrrEdit

[Elspin]

So, instead of manually creating the terrain, I'm loading it from a .irr file made in IrrEdit, so how would I do this?

Code: Select all

// create triangle selector for the terrain	
scene::ITriangleSelector* selector =
    smgr->createTerrainTriangleSelector(terrain, 0);
terrain->setTriangleSelector(selector);
selector->drop();

// create collision response animator and attach it to the camera
scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
	selector, camera, core::vector3df(60,100,60),
	core::vector3df(0,0,0), 
	core::vector3df(0,50,0));
camera->addAnimator(anim);
anim->drop();

Note at the top I need the variable terrain, which was never created because I loaded from a .irr like this:

Code: Select all

smgr->loadScene("worlds/myTest.irr");

instead of doing this:

Code: Select all

scene::ITerrainSceneNode* terrain = smgr->addTerrainSceneNode( 
      "../../media/terrain-heightmap.bmp");

So how can I get the current terrain of the scene?

ISceneManger has these functions:
virtual ISceneNode * getSceneNodeFromId (..., ...)
virtual ISceneNode * getSceneNodeFromName(..., ...)
virtual ISceneNode * getSceneNodeFromType(..., ...)
I gues you can do your task with one of them not sure exactly how

Thanks, the name one worked perfectly

Uh oh, nevermind.

error C2664: 'irr::scene::ISceneManager::createTerrainTriangleSelector' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'irr::scene::ISceneNode *' to 'irr::scene::ITerrainSceneNode *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

all those functions return the wrong kind of SceneNode, what the hell

You can check the scene node type and do a reinterpret_cast afterwards.
