Missing convertLocalToWorldPosition for a Node?

Hello!

I need to use the convertLocalToWorldPosition method declared in OgreNode.h. The SceneNode class derives from the Node class. I haven't found this method (or any other of the convert methods) in my SceneNode instances. Please can anyone help? Is it wrapped in Mogre at all? Is there any other way to get world-space point coordinates transformed by a SceneNodes hierarchy? I'm using the 1.6.5 version.

You can use this extension method:
public static class MogreExtensions
{
public static Vector3 ConvertLocalToWorldPosition(this Node self, Vector3 localPos)
{
return (self._getDerivedOrientation() * localPos * self._getDerivedScale()) + self._getDerivedPosition();
}
}

Works great! Thank you

If someone finds this post and wants to use it: Be careful by operator priority. I had to change the code to
public static Vector3 ConvertLocalToWorldPosition(this Node self, Vector3 localPos)
{
self._update(true, true);
return (self._getDerivedOrientation() * (localPos * self._getDerivedScale())) + self._getDerivedPosition();
} to get the correct transformation order.

Right, looks like a bug in Ogre:

(unless you can change operator associativity in C++).
