Camera Scene Node wont collide?

[Dances]

I created a Camera but for some reason I can't get it to collide with the map. My character collides properly. My Camera is NOT a child of the character.

Code: Select all

    //level params and set up as collideable
	LevelTriangleSelector = irrSMgr->createOctTreeTriangleSelector(
         Level->getMesh(0), LevelNode, 128);
	LevelNode->setTriangleSelector(LevelTriangleSelector);
	LevelTriangleSelector->drop();
	
	//billboard for crosshair
	CrosshairBillboard = irrSMgr->addBillboardSceneNode();
	CrosshairBillboard->setMaterialType(EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR);
	CrosshairBillboard->setMaterialTexture(0, irrDriver->getTexture("2d/crosshair.tga"));
	CrosshairBillboard->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	CrosshairBillboard->setSize(dimension2d<f32>(10.0f, 10.0f));
	
    //character params	and set up collision detection
    CharacterNode->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);	
    CharacterNode->setFrameLoop(0, 310);		
    CharacterNode->setMaterialTexture(0, irrDriver->getTexture("textures/characters/sydney.bmp"));
    CharacterNode->setPosition(vector3df(0,0,0));
    ISceneNodeAnimator* CharacterAnimator = irrSMgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
		LevelTriangleSelector, CharacterNode, vector3df(15,25,5),
		vector3df(0,-3,0));
	CharacterNode->addAnimator(CharacterAnimator);
	CharacterAnimator->drop();
	
	//create camera
    ThirdPView = irrSMgr->addCameraSceneNode(0, vector3df(-60,0,0));
    ISceneNodeAnimator* CameraAnimator = irrSMgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(
		LevelTriangleSelector, ThirdPView, vector3df(30,30,30),
		vector3df(0,0,0));
	ThirdPView->addAnimator(CameraAnimator);
	CameraAnimator->drop();

Why wont it collide with anything?

How do you move the camera around?

[Dances]

Code: Select all

void CharacterStuff::MouseLook()  //Allow the mouse to control looking
{ 
     if (EscMenu == false)
     {
         RelMousePos = irrDevice->getCursorControl()->getRelativePosition(); //Get Mouse Pos
         if(RelMousePos.X != 0.5) //If Mouse's Pos is not at half of X screen width
         { 
            vector3df r = CharacterNode->getRotation();       //Get Character's rotation   
            r.Y += (RelMousePos.X - 0.5) * 100.0f;            //Rotate the character appropriately    
            CharacterNode->setRotation(r);                    //Set the character's rotation
            irrDevice->getCursorControl()->setPosition(MousePos[0], MousePos[1]); //recenter mouse
         }   
         
         if(RelMousePos.Y != 0.5) //If mouse's pos is not at half of Y screen width
         {   
            r = ThirdPView->getRotation();
            r.Y -= (RelMousePos.Y - 0.5) * 100.0f;  
            if (r.Y > 90)
            r.Y = 90;
            if (r.Y < -90)
            r.Y = -90;
            ThirdPView->setRotation(r);       
            irrDevice->getCursorControl()->setPosition(MousePos[0], MousePos[1]); //recentermouse
         }
         
         v = CharacterNode->getPosition();
         r = CharacterNode->getRotation();
         r2 = ThirdPView->getRotation();
         CameraTranslate = cos(r2.Y*M_PI/180) * 100;
         v.Z = v.Z + (sin(r.Y*M_PI/180) * CameraTranslate);
         CameraTranslate = cos(r2.Y*M_PI/180) * 100;
         v.X = v.X - (cos(r.Y*M_PI/180) * CameraTranslate);
         v.Y = (v.Y - sin(r2.Y*M_PI/180) * 60) + 20;
         ThirdPView->setPosition(v);
     }
} 

I also set its target in the main loop:

Code: Select all

v = CharacterNode->getPosition();
	    r = v;
	    r.Y += 20;
	    ThirdPView->setTarget(r);

I switched the variable to 'r' because I still use 'v' for other things.

bump. Can no one help?

Same problem I am having... =/

[Guest]

I'm doing this fine.
However, when I:
camMain->updateAbsolutePosition();
I goes through the "walls"
I used:
camMain->setPosition(pos);
To set the position.

It doesn't seem to matter much where in the main loop the camera position update is called.

Dunno if that helps.
