how to get Item from SceneNode

[srd]

Ogre Version: :2.1:
Operating System: :Linux:
Render System: :GL3+:

I have several items already created via createItem() followed by attachObject() to the SceneNode and I'm able to later find them via getSceneNode(id).

My problem is that I can't seem to get the Item from the SceneNode so that I can create a new HlmsUnlitDatablock and change the color of the mesh.

Does that sound like I'm trying to do it the right way? If so, what am I missing?

Not really sure, but iirc...:

Code: Select all

static_cast<Ogre::Item*>( node->getAttachedObject(0) )

Thanks for that.

Once I have the item, I think I should call setDatablock() with the new colors, and then call attachObject(item).
But my question is now, do I have to remove the previous object before attaching the new object with the updated HlmsUnlitDatablock?
detachObject() doesn't seem to remove it, but removeChild() possibly? Or should I just remove the entire node and create a new one?

no, you don't have to do anything, once attached you can do item stuff while its attached

Ah, ok, thanks.
