(Another) Weapon + CameraSceneNodeFPS Problem (Solved)

hi, i searched all the weapons + camera topics
half of them is to "search weapons and camera"
another half is to set the weapon as a child of camera
it works for x,y,z translation of the camera
but not for the pitch,yaw and the pointer where the camera is looking at
here is a piece of the code:
Code: Select all
camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0,100,100,-1,keyMap,9,true,2);
IAnimatedMesh *soldierMesh = smgr->getMesh("Models/Weapons/Pistol/pistol.3ds");
soldierNode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(soldierMesh);
soldierNode->setParent(camera);
somebody know how to rotate the object with the default fps irrlich camera?
tks

This same problem appeared to my sNow or Never mini-game after the Camera Animators were included in the SVN. I didn't try to fix it nor will I try soon (not a priority), but hope this info should help

Not sure what the problem is.. you're saying your gun doesn't rotate with the camera when you set the camera as the parent? It should do... works fine for me and hundreds of other people
Maybe show us what you're getting and what you want to achieve?

yes, the weapon only fallows the x,y,z of the camera position
when i rotate, the weapon still stopped as is
what i want to do is just a weapon to fallow my camera, not only the camera position, but the rotation too, like any other fps game =]
when i go back home, i'll post the source and the result screen

I solved this in my flamethrower demo:
Code: Select all
core::vector3df campos = camera->getAbsolutePosition();
core::vector3df target = camera->getTarget();
core::vector3df view = target - campos;
view.normalize();
//set the rotation of the object to match the "view" vector
//////HERE////////
//This sets the postion
ps->setPosition(camera->getAbsolutePosition() + core::vector3df(0,-15,0) + view.setLength(10));
