Creating child nodes in ST_EXTERIOR_CLOSE?

Hey, a quick question:

I'm using PyOgre 1.0.5, and I seem to get a NotImplemented error if I try to createChildSceneNode() in the ST_EXTERIOR_CLOSE scene manager; is this the correct function to be using or am I mistaken? Alternatively, has this been implemented in CVS, or how can I get around this limitation?

Thanks!

Could you paste the exact line of code that throws the error, maybe a few preceeding lines, and the error message itself?

Hey, whoops. Forgot to do that.

Code:



self.player = sceneManager.createEntity('Player', 'ninja.mesh')



player_node = sceneManager.createSceneNode(0,0,0)

sceneManager.rootSceneNode.attachObject(player_node)

player_node.attachObject(self.player)



player_node = sceneManager.rootSceneNode.createChildSceneNode(0,0,0)

player_node.attachObject(self.player)



player_node = sceneManager.rootSceneNode.createChildSceneNode(ogre.Vector3(0,0,0))

player_node.attachObject(self.player)

all produce something like:



Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "...xxx.py", line 41, in -toplevel-

    game.go()

...

  File "...yyy.py", line 24, in _create_world

    self.player_node = sceneManager.createSceneNode(50,360,50)

  File "...site-packages\pyogre\ogre.py", line 12428, in createSceneNode

    return _ogre.SceneManager_createSceneNode(*args)

NotImplementedError: No matching function for overloaded 'SceneManager_createSceneNode'

However, simply attaching player to the root scene node works fine. What do you think?

Thanks for your help!

self.player = sceneManager.createEntity('Player', 'ninja.mesh')



player_node = sceneManager.createSceneNode(0,0,0)

sceneManager.rootSceneNode.attachObject(player_node)

player_node.attachObject(self.player)

The first parameter to createSceneNode is for a location, so the first parameter needs to be a tuple of length three:
player_node = sceneManager.createSceneNode((0,0,0))

Same with the second one, here's corrected code:



player_node = sceneManager.rootSceneNode.createChildSceneNode((0,0,0))

player_node.attachObject(self.player)

The third code snippet works for me.
