[solved] Problem with bones

[RenoRosco]

Hello,

i have a problem with bones. searched my code and the forums for hours but found nothing that helped.
I Have a model (3ds fileformat) where a bone is in it. I want to attach a weapon to that bone but if i read the bone with getJointNode("weapon_slot") i get nothing.

My code:

Code: Select all

 
    IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("spaceship.3ds");
    IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );
    ISceneNode* bone=node->getJointNode("weapon_slot");
    if(bone) vector3df pos=bone->getPosition();    

Why is the bone not loaded / found? if i load the model in 3DStudio the bone is there and the name is also the correct?

Thx for Help

3ds format does not support bones, you need to use something like .x, .ms3d or .b3d

thats what i tought about but if i load it in 3DStudio there was a bone so i thought i got the error in the code or something else.

Thank you for your fast reply
