createRayQuery question

are OSM scenes compatibile with createRayQuery? I have created few scenes (succesfully implemented loading a scene in my little application) but I cannot get entities to work with my object selection (createRayQuery) function.

is that possible at all? or I'm just too green .

OSM Scenes supports all SceneManagers and SceneQueries are fully supported

See if you are using the correct camera for creating the ray

Solved!

ok.. here is the deal ..

I was using selection function from Xavier tutorials (btw great ones)

http://artis.imag.fr/Membres/Xavier.Dec ... rial2.html

and there (in short) that function goes

void
MyApplication::mouseReleased(Ogre::MouseEvent* e)
{
if (e->getButtonID() == InputEvent::BUTTON0_MASK && e->isShiftDown()) // Shift+Left
{
// Deselect old one if any
if (mSelected) mSelected->getParentSceneNode()->showBoundingBox(false);
mWindow->setDebugText("");
// Use a ray scene query to find where we clicked
Ray mouseRay = mCamera->getCameraToViewportRay(e->getX(),e->getY());
mRaySceneQuery->setRay(mouseRay);
mRaySceneQuery->setSortByDistance(true);
RaySceneQueryResult &result = mRaySceneQuery->execute();
if (!result.empty())
{
RaySceneQueryResultEntry& re = result.front();
if (re.movable && re.movable->getMovableType() == "Entity")
{
mSelected = (Entity*)(re.movable);
mSelected->getParentSceneNode()->showBoundingBox(true);
mWindow->setDebugText("Selected "+mSelected->getName());
}
}
}
}

now..
RaySceneQueryResult &result = mRaySceneQuery->execute();

was giving all the rigt results.. BUT the first one on the list was CAMERA!

so.. when second part of code comes in

RaySceneQueryResultEntry& re = result.front();

what you do is choose a firt thing on the list (camera) and then you have a problem

ALSO .. I had to add

mCamera = mWindow->getViewport(0)->getCamera(); so I could be shure that I'm working with the camera I'm using at the moment

and of course I have changed if(!result.empty()) query to

if (!result.empty())
{
for ( itr = result.begin( ); itr != result.end(); itr++ )
{
if (itr->movable && itr->movable->getMovableType() == "Entity")
{
mSelected = (Entity*)(itr->movable);
Selected->getParentSceneNode()->showBoundingBox(true);
mWindow->setDebugText("Selected "+mSelected->getName());
break; // you found one? great! break!
}
}
}

that's all folks

well the camera somehow was the problem

is it normal to be first on the list when you use ray? it seems that before using OSM it was not...
