Characters sharing mesh problem!

[L_Draven]

Hi friends.

I have a problem with the characters meshes.

When i load a character file i use smgr->GetMesh(filename) function. casting to skinned mesh for use useAnimationFrom() function.

i.e: AnimatedMesh=static_cast<ISkinnedMesh*>(smgr->getMesh("player.b3d"));

of course animatedmesh var is ISkinnedMesh* type;

Then i use AnimatedMesh->useAnimationFrom("walk.b3d");

All works perfect!!.


But the if I create a new character using the same filename and with the same way, during the game when i play the animation of one character the another character plays the same animation and i can not do that each character play differents animations.

Its because when i load with the same filename, the smgr not create a new mesh and use the same mesh that i have loaded a the first time?? Can i use the same base mesh but different animations using useAnimationFrom() function???

I have searched but i cannot find the solution.
I have removed the mesh from the meshcache after the asigment and in the another character load again and works but the FPS performance dies.
I would like use the same base mesh without remove from meshcache and the load again.

Any idea?.

Thanks in advance guys.

i have the same problem.

I am thinking to animate the node "manually", this means to set the joint mode to EJUOR_CONTROL and set the rotation of each joint manually based on the rotation of the selected animation, i have tested this mode but it gave me crazy results xD
