Troubleshooting General Help

I successfully loaded the troll model!



Still some cleanup to do but its very close now.



i want to get my model viewer so the yes and mouse rotate and translate the model not the camera.



It looks like a "NodeInputHandler" would do this.  is this right and if so how do i swap it in SimpleGame?



Thanks

em…so u wanna rotate the camera when u rotate the model? but not the camera alone? like a fps?



well, if thats what u want. u can just create a camera node, and attach that node under ur model node.

then set mouselook to false.



not sure if i understood correctly though  :expressionless:

i've never used it myself but i think FirstPersonHandler should do the trick

Not quite.



You can loo kat this two ways… theya re equivalent:



(1)  I want to rotate and slide the root of the model and keep the camera in one place. 



(2) I want to rotate the camera around the model and slide it in and out.  Then I want to be ale to slide the "looked at" point around.



The key here is that the root of the model is the center of rotation unless I explicitly slide that center point.



Its a model viewer.  A pretty basic kind of interface, actually, when your doing tools as opposed to games.

You might take a look at GameControlManager…there is even a controller in there to do rotation for you and although there isn't a controller currently to "translate", there is a ThrottleController thats usage is somewhat self-explanatory. :wink:

Or you could write your own input handler…
