AAHHHHHH!!! Will The Ray Casting Never End

OK, here we go again.
After all my threads on ray casting for melee collision I think I'm finally understanding it. I'm almost done with the raycasting part, but I still can't get one part to work.
I have a function called ShapeBase::getNodePositions that gets the node positons. I have another function called ShapeBaseImageData::getRayInfo that will cast a ray from one node position to the other and will see if it hit anything. Then I have a ConsoleMethod called rayCollision and it's a member of ShapeBaseImageData.
Now heres the problem. I can't call getNodePositions from getRayInfo or rayCollision because getNodePosition is not a member of ShapBaseImage Data.
So what am I going to do? I need to get the updated node positions when ever rayCollision is called.
I can't make getNodePositions a member of ShapeBaseImageData cause nothing would work then.
So please be patient with me, type slow and please help.
Thanks

Well yes, that's a re-re-packaged version of the RealmWars code, which pretty much does what you want by racyasting between two nodes on a weapon. If nothing else, you could try using it as a reference to get your own setup working.

All I need is a way to call getNodePositions.
Thanks Again.
[EDIT] opps I didn't see the last post, I'll try that.

My game doesn't use the starter.fps and I don't know how to adjust it but thanks anyway.All I need is a way to call getNodePositions.
Thanks Again.

Funny topic title ;)

If someone knows how to call a ShapeBase member function from a ShapeBaseImageData function or by script that would be GREAT!

Well I've had a good look at it but I'm not doing anything like that. My only problem that I know of now, is I can't seem to be able to call my getNodePosition from rayCollision or by script.If someone knows how to call a ShapeBase member function from a ShapeBaseImageData function or by script that would be GREAT!
