position of collision object

i have a problem with the position (better orientation) of my collision object, thats my code:

Entity* cil = mSceneMgr->createEntity("Cil", "cilinderMesh.mesh");
SceneNode* cil1 = mSceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode("Cil");
cil1->attachObject(cil);

OgreNewt::Collision* col3 = new OgreNewt::CollisionPrimitives::Cylinder(m_World,19.7,59.1);
OgreNewt::Body* bodyCil = new OgreNewt::Body( m_World, col3 );
delete col3;
bodyCil->attachToNode(cil1);
bodyCil->setPositionOrientation( Ogre::Vector3(50.0, 0.0,50.0), Ogre::Quaternion::IDENTITY );

but my collision object is in a different orientation of my original object, if i use
bodyCil->setPositionOrientation( Ogre::Vector3(50.0, 0.0,50.0), Ogre::Quaternion::IDENTITY * Ogre::Quaternion(Ogre::Degree(90), Ogre::Vector3::UNIT_X));//::IDENTITY );

my original objects rotation changes, but i would like to make that change
on my collision object, how do i do that

apply that rotation to the collision object when you create it (when you make the cylinder). this will offset the local orientation of the collision shape.

great, it works, thx

Hi,

apply that rotation to the collision object when you create it (when you make the cylinder). this will offset the local orientation of the collision shape.

I am having the same problem but I am not sure what you mean with "collision object". The node or the ogrenewt collision object?
If the later, how to apply a rotation to it?

Maybe a silly question but I tried different alternative code snippets and still cannot get it to work

Some extensions to the code sample in the origin posting would help a lot I think ...

regards

when you create the collision object, you can pass an offset (vector3), and an orientation (quaternion) to adjust it's position in local space.
