i'm still trying to figure out how to rotate a model to face a point (see the "path finding" post), i need to make it face the camera (or player).

thanks for any help!!!

I searched through the forum, and though I'm sure I've seen the answer to this somewhere, I coudln't find it.

How do you rotate an node to face a given point?

Code: Select all

node->setRotation(core::vector3df(X,Y,Z));

It's in the API...

That function rotates it by a certain amount on those axes, but not to face a given point, right?

I asked on flipcode and got an answer there if anyone's interested.

btw , [dx/x], what kind of game are you working on?
