Trying to get entities out of the ofusion hashtable

Hi,

I'm trying to get all the entities out of an OSM file so I can do a treecollision with them using mogrenewt...However, the following code only gives me a runtime error. I'm no programming ace so I'm sure it's just something minor that I'm doing wrong but I'm out of ideas.


foreach (DictionaryEntry it in loader.Entities)
{
Entity myent = (Entity)it.Value;
SceneNode myNode = mgr.RootSceneNode.CreateChildSceneNode("test");
myNode.AttachObject(myent);

}

Thanks

osmloader build nodes for you.

"test" node is one time, but if you have 2 entities?

foreach (DictionaryEntry it in loader.Entities)
{
Entity myent = (Entity)it.Value;
SceneNode myNode = mgr.RootSceneNode.CreateChildSceneNode(myent.Name); //<<<
myNode.AttachObject(myent);

}
or (to test)
foreach (DictionaryEntry it in loader.Entities)
{
mgr.RootSceneNode.CreateChildSceneNode(it.key).AttachObject((Entity)it.Value);

}

the following code only gives me a runtime error
You actually get an Ogre exception (because you are trying to create multiple scene nodes with the same name). In order to see an Ogre exception, check the Mogre demos, they are doing something like this:
try
{
Skeletal app = new Skeletal();
app.Go();
}
catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException)
{
// Check if it's an Ogre Exception
if (OgreException.IsThrown)
ExampleApplication.Example.ShowOgreException();
else
throw;
}

oFusion CE creates and setup, ambientlight, shadows,skybox, scenemanager, cameras, lights, Entities, SceneNodes, and if there is no viewports it create one viewport.

If you create it again with the same name you will get an exception.

All the scenenodes created by the osm loader will be also in the scene graph.

Thanks a lot guys. Very helpful!
