0.9 rotation

hi!
i tried to rotate a node managed by nxogre, but doesn't take effect....
how can I do this?

body = mScene->createBody(....);
body->getNode()->pitch( Ogre::Degree( 2.0f ) );


thanks

Of course it doesn't.

NxOgre pays absolute no attention to what changes you make to your scene node, infact once you changed it - NxOgre goes and puts it back where it was.

It's that evil.

You should adjust the orientation through the Actor.

thx...

body->moveGlobalOrientation(quaternion rotation);


is correct??
'cause doesn't rotate!

SetGlobalOrientation?

SetGlobalOrientation?

I like the ogre rotation functions, so I used this "trick":


body = mScene->createBody(....);
body->getNode()->pitch( Ogre::Degree( 2.0f ) );
body->setGlobalOrientation(body->getNode()->_getDerivedOrientation());


In 0.4, it worked, I didn't try 0.9 yet.

It works with the current versions of Ogre and NxOgre, but for some reason you have to normalise the derived orientation of the body, otherwise the rotation will become odd. Maybe a problem with the ogre scene nodes...don't know.

I have tried but it didn't work for me.
My problem is, I create a car but the visualisation of my car is not facing the z axis but x axis. I have to rotate it 90 degrees to make it face the right direction and fit into the collision box. Here is my code. Thanks in advance.

mBody = mScene->createBody("carname; carbody.mesh;", new CubeShape(1.8,1.3,4.5),Pos, "mass: 1800");

mBody->getNode()->yaw(Ogre::Degree(90) );
mBody->setGlobalOrientation(mBody->getNode()->_getDerivedOrientation());

Use MeshMagick to rotate the car permanently. By the time you setup a scenenode system to do it, it isn't worth it.

I have already tried it. I have downloaded the meshmagick but I don't know how to use ogre command lines.. Where will I input a command like this ?

> MeshMagick transform -rotate=90/0/1/0 robot.mesh

Thanks..

In a dos prompt/command line window; but if you need help with that - you should ask on the main forums.

Thank you very much I have done it with meshmagick by inputting commands from dos command line.

But I wonder something. Why does nxogre ignores any rotation on the visual node of a body or actor?
Interestingly it does not touch the scale on the visual node on the other hand. (using nxogre 0.9 - 38 )

NxOgre sets the orientation of the SceneNode to whatever it wishes, it doesn't take account of it's initial setting.
