Entitykey and Camerapick doesn't work

[ParaToxic]

Hei I have a problem in my code.I'm programming a 3D menu and have some components like Buttons,Sliders...

Now I wan't to use Raycasting to get the button be selected from the mouse and soone.

I load my button with LoadMesh ( not a model!) and set the Key to "MENU" with a value "BUTTON"

 

In my Update function I have the following code:

 

CameraPick(&_raycast,IEngineSystem::Inst()->GetCamera(),Vec3(MouseX(),MouseY(),200));
if(_raycast.entity)
{
 if(GetEntityKey(_raycast.entity,"MENU") == "BUTTON" )
 {
  IMenuComponent* temp = (IMenuComponent*)GetEntityUserData(_raycast.entity);
  temp->_state = B_SELECTED;
  IConsole::inst()->Debug("HI");
 }
}

 

But I never get the BUTTON value of the key.I get allways a null-string.....

Can you help me with that ??

Thanks

You can't compare C strings with == operator. You can do:

!strcmp("BUTTON",GetEntityKey(...))

or

"BUTTON"==string(GetEntityKey(...))

.
