Child object - unchanged trans

Hi,

I have relation:

Code:

   helper->_SIO2transform->_SIO2parent = player->_SIO2transform;
   sio2TransformBindMatrix(helper->_SIO2transform);

Everything is ok, I see how child object "fallow" the parent.

Next step - bind emitter to child object:

Code:

       d_emitter->_SIO2transform->rot->x = helper->_SIO2transform->rot->x;
      d_emitter->_SIO2transform->rot->y = helper->_SIO2transform->rot->y;
      d_emitter->_SIO2transform->rot->z = helper->_SIO2transform->rot->z;
      
      d_emitter->_SIO2transform->loc->x = helper->_SIO2transform->loc->x;
      d_emitter->_SIO2transform->loc->y = helper->_SIO2transform->loc->y;
      d_emitter->_SIO2transform->loc->z = helper->_SIO2transform->loc->z;
   }
   sio2TransformBindMatrix( d_emitter->_SIO2transform );

And nothing happend - emitter is still in 0.0.0 position. Also I see, that child object disappear while camera do not look at initial position of helper. What is wrong with my code? How can I bind actual ogl transformation to internal object?

Check tutorial14

I have studied totorial 14 and still can't find solution for my problem. Child object renders properly, same as md2 object in tut14, but his transformation are equal 0 - so any object binded to child doesn't move/rotate/whatever. I'm quite confused about what is rendered and what is calculated by engine Can You explain me that topic like for idiot?

I had this problem, seems to me the engine doesn't like 2 layers of parenting - solved it by parenting everything to a ghost 'parent' object (though I realize this may not be applicable for your project).
