Hey there!
I am currently working on a jumping puzzle game concept based on a first person view. Being new at this, its been a steep learning curve but am getting there in very small strides.
I am having a few problems, I was hoping you would help me. Orge forum isn't really active enough and am getting no responses.
So here it goes.
I have a scenenode which has a camera and sphere attached to it, I was going to use the sphere around the camera to flag any collisions with objects within the game. I couldn't figure out how to put collision detection on the camera itself so i thought this would be simpler.
Below is how i create and attach my nodes.
tdynamicnode = this->_obj_mgr_scene->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode("DynamicNode");
tdynamicnode->attachObject(_obj_camera_one);
Entity* tempdynentity = nullptr;
tempdynentity = this->_obj_mgr_scene->createEntity("Sphere",tspheremesh);
tdynamicnode->attachObject(tempdynentity);
Originally I had controls controlling the camera (using the mouse for rotation and WASD for X,Z ) but now since I have the both the sphere and the camera, I transfered the controls to move the scenenode so the camera and the sphere woudl move together.
Below is the code for moving the scenenode.
if (tnotexiting)
{
this->_obj_mgr_camera_one->frameRenderingQueued(pframe_event);
this->_node_player_disp = Vector3::ZERO;
if(this->_actn_move_fwd)
{
this->_node_player_disp += Vector3::NEGATIVE_UNIT_Z * 100 * pframe_event.timeSinceLastFrame;
}
if(this->_actn_move_bkwrd)
{
this->_node_player_disp += Vector3::UNIT_Z * 100 * pframe_event.timeSinceLastFrame;
}
if(this->_actn_strafe_left)
{
this->_node_player_disp += Vector3::NEGATIVE_UNIT_X * 100 * pframe_event.timeSinceLastFrame;
}
if(this->_actn_strafe_right)
{
this->_node_player_disp += Vector3::UNIT_X * 100 * pframe_event.timeSinceLastFrame;
}
this->tdynamicnode->translate(this->_node_player_disp);
}
bool tresult = true;
if(pkeyevt.key == OIS::KC_W)
{
this->_actn_move_fwd = true;
}
else if(pkeyevt.key == OIS::KC_S)
{
this->_actn_move_bkwrd = true;
}
else if(pkeyevt.key == OIS::KC_A)
{
this->_actn_strafe_left = true;
}
else if(pkeyevt.key == OIS::KC_D)
{
this->_actn_strafe_right = true;
}My next problem is I dont know how to change the rotation of the scenenode when moving the camera rotation. Ideally i would like to rotate the X and Z axis on yaw rotation. Essentially I would like it behaviouring simpler to minecraft.
But this can be fixed another time, I need collision detection working before i can fix fiddly bits.
Now for the collision detection. I need the sphere big enough to encase camera (its currently in front of the camera), then am guessing I use something similar to this to detect collision.
Node::ChildNodeIterator itr = this->_node_obstacles->getChildIterator();
bool tcollide = false;
while (itr.hasMoreElements())
{
SceneNode* n = (Ogre::SceneNode *)itr.getNext();
if(n->_getWorldAABB().intersects(_node_player->_getWorldAABB()))
{
tcollide = true;
}
}
if(tcollide)
{
this->_node_player->translate(-5 * this->_node_player_disp);
}I need help with getting the collision to work properly. its so frustrating when its almost there but you cant figure out what it is. Ogre's website doesn't have much.
