If your object inherits from DzObject, the DzObject::drawnDataChanged() signal should o the trick.

Isn’t something like that is the DzScene? I should not inherit from DzObject,.

That one is actually also called drawnDataChanged().

So if you connect to the dzScene->drawnDataChanged() signal, it should, at least conceptually, work

The problem is that I should able to get the geometry of the modified node in another class and drawnDataChanged() doesn’t seem go pass me the DzNode.

EDIT: can i do that with a cas on QObject::sender() in my slot?

EDIT2: sender() made my day but however using drawDataChanged() for a node is almost impossibile since it is called every time my Node il clicked other than moved, morpehed or similar.

EDIT3: by setting breakpoints i have detected that it acutally acts even during the manipulation? isn’t there anyway to detect whether an object manipulation ends?

DzNode has its own implementation of drawnDataChanged(), so I guess you could hook up to that one instead of the DzScene one.
Without having tried it, I guess the problem with “spam” messages will stay the same though.

A simple solution could be to hook up to the selected signal ( DzNode::selected(DzNode* node , bool onOff) ) and spawn a manual update once the node is no longer selected.

Of course, this has it’s own drawbacks - but at least you can handle your internal magic in a single slot definition in your own program (switch on the node->getLabel()).

If I had a better idea on what your are trying to accomplice I might be able to give a better suggestion…...

I have to pass every geometry of the scene to Bullet Physics in order to get a Raycast. And my supervisor asked me to try to see if I can update the Bullet Wolrd only when objects are modified (and maybe update only the one I modify)

Unless you are really keen on re-implementing DzNode I guess that the simple solution is to hook up to the DzNode::drawnDataChanged() signal and filter out the events you do not need.

I would do that by using a simple timer.

[pseudo code]

Somewhat crude - but it should get the job done and you get a “per node” event.

look’s like a nice idea… However. If I subclass DzNode to detect if node is in editing mode will the subclass be on my scene everytime I add a DzNode or do I have to do a lot of casting?
