Being a semi noob to programming and a total noob to irrlicht. can someone explain how to dig through the api documentation and how to understand and find what your looking for and make sense of the different member functions and how to use them etc?

Well, you start with the device, maybe you even know already (e.g. from the tutorials) that you have things like scene manager etc. Read the methods' descriptions in those interfaces, and click on those which you find useful. You find the description and features on the following pages.

Code: Select all
virtual void irr::scene::ISceneNode::setScale ( const core::vector3df & scale ) [inline, virtual]
Sets the relative scale of the scene node.
Parameters:
scale New scale of the node, relative to its parent.
Definition at line 445 of file ISceneNode.h.
References RelativeScale.
Referenced by deserializeAttributes().
i guess what im asking is would the way to read/use this be
node1->setScale(vector3df(100,100,100)); or whatever to
increase the scale by 100 unites?

If you're having trouble finding the function you're looking for, you can also use Google.
Just search "
setScale site:http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/"
This also works with the forums (Just use
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ instead)
And pretty much any other website.
