rotation problems

I want a weapon to look in the sa´me direction as the camera... but i do not use a FPS-camera... is it possible to get the rotation of the camera?

if not: is it possible to rotate an object first around the x and z axis and then around the y?

i really need help. Is there another way to do this?

Yeah, it's possible to rotate the scene-node that the weapon is on.

Also, you can attach that scene node to the camera's node.

virtual IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* irr::scene::ISceneManager::addAnimatedMeshSceneNode ( IAnimatedMesh * mesh,
ISceneNode * parent = 0,
s32 id = -1,
const core::vector3df & position = core::vector3df(0, 0, 0),
const core::vector3df & rotation = core::vector3df(0, 0, 0),
const core::vector3df & scale = core::vector3df(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f)
) [pure virtual]

Specify the parent as the camera when you create it.

it does not work: the weapon has the same position as the camera but not the same rotation

if i use camera->getRotation i get 0 ( i have v 4.1 ! )

It's probably just another bug in the FPS camera. The getPosition, setPosition, setTarget, and getTarget are all messed up too. I think that getTarget might do a getPosition though...

Yep my bad... I should read better. Well maybe the FPS's camera problems are coming from the base camera class if the other cameras have problems too...
