History: Talk:Displaying LensFlare

            !!!Errors in Code
This is a very useful class and I thank you for posting it.  I'm not sure if it was developed under an older version of Ogre, but I had to make a few changes to get it to compile.  I also had to make a few changes to get the proper results.  Maybe I don't fully understand how the lens flare should look, but it wasn't moving around with the view as I looked around the light source.  I won't make the changes to the actual code, because that would drive me nuts if someone else did that to me, so I'll just list them here.
* In Destructor:  renamed removeBillboardSet() to destroyBillboardSet()



~pp~ mSceneMgr->destroyBillboardSet(mHaloSet);~/pp~
* In createLensFlare:  VOIDOBJECT was not a valid QueryFlag.  Changed to 0



~pp~ mBurstSet->setQueryFlags(0);~/pp~
* In update():  LightDistance was just the length of the position vector for the light.  Changed to be the distance from the camera to the light.



~pp~ Vector3 camPos = mCamera->getPosition();
 Real LightDistance  = (camPos - mLightPosition).length();~/pp~
* In update():  The CameraVec didn't take into account the camera's position, so it was always relative to the scene's origin, not the camera.  Added the camera's position.



~pp~ CameraVect = mCamera->getPosition() + (LightDistance * CameraVect);
~/pp~
