[SOLVED][2.1] ManualObject multicolor line

[Feanor16]

Hi,
i'm trying to make a line using ManualObject. but the simple line display several colours:


this is my code:

Code: Select all

    Ogre::ManualObject * ManualObject;
    ManualObject = Node_->sceneNode()->getCreator()->createManualObject(Ogre::SCENE_DYNAMIC);

    ManualObject->begin("DbRed", Ogre::OT_LINE_LIST); //Datablock DbRed works
    ManualObject->colour(0,0,0); // tested but doesn't work
    ManualObject->setStatic(false);

    ManualObject->position(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    ManualObject->position(0.0,  0.0, -1.0);
    ManualObject->line(0,1);

    ManualObject->end();
  
    Node_->attachObject(ManualObject);

someone knows what happen?

thank you

Problem Solved: the V2 ManualObject doesn't works with a Pbs Datablock. It works perfectly with Unlit Datablock.

Code: Select all

  Ogre::HlmsUnlit *hlmsUnlitMaterials = static_cast<Ogre::HlmsUnlit*>(hlmsManager->getHlms(Ogre::HLMS_UNLIT));
  Ogre::HlmsUnlitDatablock *UnlitDatablock;
  Ogre::String datablockUnlitName = "UnlitColour";

  UnlitDatablock = static_cast<Ogre::HlmsUnlitDatablock*>(hlmsUnlitMaterials->createDatablock(
                                                     datablockUnlitName,
                                                     datablockUnlitName,
                                                     Ogre::HlmsMacroblock(),
                                                     Ogre::HlmsBlendblock(),
                                                     Ogre::HlmsParamVec() ) );

  UnlitDatablock->setUseColour(true);
  UnlitDatablock->setColour(Ogre::ColourValue(1,0,0));

This was most likely caused because you did not specify any normals or tangents which are required to calculate any lighting.

Also please note Manual Object really should not be used at all, and was added back to 2.1 due to community pressure to help with porting, but is much more limited. However it is highly recommended to generate vertex buffers yourself, it is much easier than it was in 1.x. Check out the samples "CustomRenderable" & "DynamicGeometry"
