[SOLVED] A question about Controls

Troubleshooting General Help

Just a quick question: What is the best way to use controls?

  • Add a control to a spatial
  • Add a control to the rootNode. The control will then attach a spatial to the node.

Thanks,

The first way.

I’m not sure why you’d want to add behaviors to the root node. Think of controls like “extending” a spatial using composition instead of inheritance. There is no good reason to extend the functionality of root node.

@pspeed thanks for the reply! I started to get a little confused because I use the SkyControl plugin, and I should only attach the SkyControl to the rootNode to create the sky, not to a spatial. Thanks!

Yeah, sky control is a little odd.
