mSceneManager

by Anthony McCrary · in Torque Game Engine · 01/22/2003 (6:26 pm) · 4 replies

Hi, I am implementing some functionality and I need to use the Decal Manager to make it work properly. Below is how Player.cc does this:

mSceneManager->getCurrentDecalManager()->addDecal(rInfo.point, rot, Point3F(rInfo.normal),decal);

But, my class is a derivitave of the areaEditor class and I cannot for the life of me get access to the mSceneManager variable... or even find where it's defined.

Any suggestions?

Defined in sim/sceneObject.h If you use Visual C++ you ought to learn to use the class view window and/or find in files. They work wonders for locating where something is defined in a large project like torque, took me all of 5 seconds to find it.

Yes, I've found that already but that doesn't do me any good because it's protected.

I'm just looking for an explaination on how the player class uses it.

Thanks though! :)

Here's my code:

Point2F pos = screenToWorld(Point2F(event.mousePoint.x, event.mousePoint.y));

   F32 height = 0.0f;

   TerrainBlock * terrain = dynamic_cast<TerrainBlock*>(Sim::findObject("Terrain"));
   if(terrain)
      if(terrain->isServerObject())
      {
         Point3F offset;
         terrain->getTransform().getColumn(3, &offset);
         pos -= Point2F(offset.x, offset.y);
         terrain->getHeight(pos, &height);
      }

   RayInfo rInfo;

   bool hit = gClientContainer.castRay(Point3F(pos.x, pos.y, height + 0.01f), Point3F(pos.x, pos.y, height - 2.0f ), TerrainObjectType | InteriorObjectType, &rInfo);

   DecalData *decal = new DecalData();

   StringTableEntry decalFileName = StringTable->insert("~/data/roads/testRoad");

   decal->textureName = decalFileName;
   decal->sizeX = 0.125;
   decal->sizeY = 0.25;
   
   SceneGraph* mSceneManager = terrain->getSceneManager();

   mSceneManager->getCurrentDecalManager()->addDecal(rInfo.point, Point3F(pos.x, pos.y, height), Point3F(rInfo.normal),decal);

	Con::printf("Trying..");

I added this function to SceneObject:

SceneGraph* SceneObject::getSceneManager()
{

	return mSceneManager;

}

But it crashes without an error every time I click on the map.

Thanks!

I think I have an idea of what my problem is.. what is the proper way to create a datablock instance from C++?
