Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — controlling Sinbad

We use the previous code and add this code where we need, as we did before. We will create a WASD control for Sinbad with the following code:

1. Replace the line where we translate the node in the FrameListener with a zero vector called translate:

   Ogre::Vector3 translate(0,0,0);
   

2. Then add the following keyboard query after the escape query:

   if(_key->isKeyDown(OIS::KC_W))
   {
   translate += Ogre::Vector3(0,0,-10);
   }
   

3. Now add the code to the other three keys. It is basically the same, only the key code and the direction of the vector changes:

   if(_key->isKeyDown(OIS::KC_S)) { translate += Ogre::Vector3(0,0,10); } if(_key->isKeyDown(OIS::KC_A)) { translate += Ogre::Vector3(-10,0,0); } if(_key->isKeyDown(OIS::KC_D)) { translate ...
