[fixed]draw3DTriangle wireframe problem

[xiotex]

I am just using irrlicht for the first time and so far I am very impressed by its ease of use. I have used many commercial and in-house engines and so far this one has been the quickest to get running.

So, onto my problem:

I am running on osx with the OpenGL driver and when I try to draw a 3D triangle using:

Code: Select all

	SMaterial m; 
	m.Lighting = false; 
	m.Wireframe = false;
	CEngine::GetDriver()->setMaterial(m); 
	CEngine::GetDriver()->setTransform(video::ETS_WORLD, core::matrix4()); 	
			CEngine::GetDriver()->draw3DTriangle(t1, flag2 ? sColour1 : sColour2);

(t1 are my verts which were set up earlier)

the triangles draw as they should except they are wireframe? Is this the expected behaviour of draw3DTriangle?

[xiotex]

Ah, it seems that function is not implemented in the OpenGL driver - it defaults to the NULL driver.

Well, the docs are wrong, though. As they say that a filled triangle is drawn, which is not. Better set up a small vertex array and an index array, and call drawIndexedTriangle

I just used a mesh object in the end. Worked out better for performance overall so not such a big problem.

I really like this engine - so damn easy to use.

Should we fix the docs or the method here?
I'm thinking it's better to fix the method, as the material can decide whether to draw in wireframe or not.
Added a bug regarding this anyway.
