rotating a character mesh.

ok i have a character:


// Create character
NxOgre::CharacterParams Params;
Params.setToDefault();
Params.mType = NxOgre::CharacterParams::CT_Box;
Params.mSkinWidth = 0.5;
mCharacter = mScene->createCharacter(Name, InitialPosition, Params);

// Create mesh
//mCharacter->attachMesh("cube.1m.mesh");
//mCharacter->getNode()->scale(0.25f,2.0f,0.25f);
mCharacter->attachMesh(Mesh);
mCharacter->createNode();
MeshNode = mCharacter->getNode();
MeshEntity = mCharacter->getEntity();


and i can scale him:


MeshNode->scale( Vector3(1,1,1)*MercMeshConverter*(CharacterHeight+2*(CharacterRadius)));


but for some reason i cant move or rotate him:


MeshNode->translate(Vector3(0,(CharacterHeight/2),0));
MeshNode->yaw(Degree(180));


why would scale work and not rotate or translate?

Because of in the next render, it'll set the orientation of the node right back. If your character is naturally facing the wrong way, you'll have to add a node in the character nodes, with an offset orientation.

lol i figured it out as you were posting:

here is my code for anyone who needs something similar:


mCharacter->createNode();
MeshNode = mCharacter->getNode()->createChildSceneNode();
MeshEntity = mScene->getSceneManager()->createEntity(mCharacter->getName(), Mesh);
MeshNode->attachObject(MeshEntity);

AdjustMesh();
