Graphics Not Displaying

[mager]

So, I'm writing my game engine - and i was working with adding an eventhandler and suddenly my graphics quit displaying. I know its running through my draw and update functions, but its not displaying.

Can you guys help me figure out what the problem is?

Here is the source code to my engine:

Looking into your 3DModel.cpp:
in Model3D::Load() you do loading a model like:

Code: Select all

mesh = smgr->getMesh(file);
node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh);

then in Model3D::Unload() you do unloading like:

Code: Select all

mesh->drop();
node->drop();

How can you write 0 "create" methods and 2 "drop" method ?

it seems the problem is with your camera's target...
if you (eg.) set the camera's position a bit behind the target it seems to work:

Code: Select all

void Player::UpdateVariables(ICameraSceneNode * cam){
	Model3D::GetMeshNode()->setPosition(Position);
	cam->setTarget(Position);
	cam->setPosition(Position - vector3df(0,0,1));
}

and greenya is right, you should not drop node and mesh !!!

Whats the proper way to delete a mesh or node?

And whats the cameras position have to do with even my skybox not displaying?

node->remove(); and MeshCache->removeMesh(mesh);

if the camera's target is equal to it's position it can do strange things with the visualisation...
mybe you could say then it looks into itself tho...

Well, With absolutely no explanations. It works again.

I replaced my stationary camera with an FPS camera and ran it, then it worked. I set the stationary back again and it still works? With all of the code functional now. Frankly I'm confused, but hey its working.
