RPLIDAR+hector slam+laser pipeline

Hi everyone, i have very big problem... I'm using RPLIDAR 360° Laser Scanner to get the 3d map. In this moment I'm using rplidarros and hectorslam library to get 2d mapping in rviz. Everything is working but I have problem with laserpipeline. Normally when I am using hectorslam i have generated laserscan(/scan) and PointCloud(/slamcloud). In theory it should be easy to use laserpipeline libraries but... if I am doing everything like in this tutorial (http://wiki.ros.org/laser_assembler/Tutorials/HowToAssembleLaserScans) or if I am using original, not modified repository I always get only a circle of points like here: image description . Does anyone have any idea what am I doing wrong?

I am just a beginner so, if you need some of my files(I didn't modified any of them right now :) ) or have any propositoins about other library which I should use, please, tell me :)

Edit1: OK, I know why i have this points. It is because I am using "dummyscanproducer" but honestly i have completly no idea how to use my data from my RPLIDAR 360... Anybody has any idea? Any solution?
