A question about NxActor userdata.

Does NxOgre use the NxActors userdata for anything. I was going to use this to link the actors back to my classes but it seems that if i null them:

CollisionBody->getNxActor()->userData = NULL;

I get a crash when NxOgre renders pointing here:


void World::render(NxReal time) {

for(Scene* scene = mScenes.begin();scene = mScenes.next();) {
scene->render(time);
}

}


ok i found this thread:

http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/view ... data#29773

basically it says to make my objects based off actor.

so how can i get one of my corresponding objects from something like an intersection which returns actor ptrs?

You static cast the Actor to your Class.

Problem is I've just figured out, you need to know before hand what type of Actor it is before you cast it. Perhaps I should have a virtual getType() function like Ogre's MovableObjects.

well personally (for now) it sounds easier to just add a void pointer to the NxOgre::actor class myself. Seems like less code to write because i can just static cast the void ptr to a class i already have written. Not to mention Having to derive and register any future class (that i plan to have an actor) from actor. Ill try both and see what i like.

Thx for the help.
