	Animator and custom scene node

When I add custom scene node as you showed in tutorial03 the CL3D.Animator On Click is not working for this node.
var mynode = new MySceneNode(engine);
(...)
mynode.addAnimator(animator);

However if I create cube object CL3D.CubeSceneNode CL3D.Animator On Click works for a cube. Is that a way to use this type of the animator for objects created like you showed in the tutorial?

For me, animators work with my own custom scene nodes. Are you sure you derived it from SceneNode, using

MySceneNode.prototype = new CL3D.SceneNode();

Look here:

http://www.pinerly.com/deck/3d

and make a source view. I did like that (I had to):


var cubenode = new CL3D.CubeSceneNode();
var animator_cl = new CL3D.Animator(engine.getScene(), engine, SlideLeft);
cubenode.addAnimator(animator_cl);
cubenode.getMaterial(0).Type = CL3D.Material.EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL;
cubenode.getMaterial(0).Tex1 = engine.getTextureManager().getTexture('textures/trans.png', true);
cubenode.Pos.X = 15; cubenode.Pos.Y = 2; cubenode.Pos.Z = 98;
cubenode.Scale.Y = 0.5;
scene.getRootSceneNode().addChild(cubenode);

So I am encompasing the arrows you can click at the end of the corridor with transparent (but visible) cube. Very poor method. I dont just understand why :

arrow_left.addAnimator(animator_cl);

doesnt work?

I think the CL3D.Animator doesn't do anything by default. You need to use one of the specializations, depending on what you want to do. Like

var animator_cl = new CL3D.AnimatorRotation(new CL3D.Vect3d(1,0,0));

If I get rid of the cube and replace the code;


var animator_cl = new CL3D.Animator On Click(engine.getScene(), engine, SlideLeft);
cubenode.addAnimator(animator_cl);

with

var animator_cl = new CL3D.Animator On Click(engine.getScene(), engine, SlideLeft);
arrow_left.addAnimator(animator_cl);

it doesnt work :)

also I dont also know why I cannot write normally CL3D.Animator On Click on that forum because its being replaced by CL3D.Animator causing misunderstang :) LOL

Yes, sorry about the problem with the forum, we once had some lame forum hijacking attempts and the forum now is a bit paranoid :)
Probably this might help you with your problem, there are some things you need to do in order to make on-click animators work with your own scene node:
