With this package, you can draw vectors in Unity that works both in Edit and
Play Mode.
- Batch multiple draws into one draw call
- Use different color and radius / arrow
- Draw dashed arrows
- Different caps (not just arrows)
You can add this package to your project by going to
Window -> Package Manager -> + -> Add Package From git URL...
and then enter https://github.com/UniversityOfSkovde/Vector-Renderer.git.
Create an empty GameObject and add a VectorRenderer-component to it.
Next, write a custom script and attach it to the same object and access
it like this:
using System;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
using Vectors;
[ExecuteAlways]
[RequireComponent(typeof(VectorRenderer))]
public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
[NonSerialized]
private VectorRenderer vectors;
[SerializeField]
public Vector3 vectorA = new Vector3(3, 0, 0);
[SerializeField]
public Vector3 vectorB = new Vector3(0, 3, 0);
[SerializeField]
public Vector3 vectorC = new Vector3(0, 0, 3);
void OnEnable() {
vectors = GetComponent<VectorRenderer>();
}
void Update()
{
using (vectors.Begin()) {
vectors.Draw(Vector3.zero, vectorA, Color.red);
vectors.Draw(Vector3.zero, vectorB, Color.green);
vectors.Draw(Vector3.zero, vectorC, Color.blue);
}
}
}
[CustomEditor(typeof(Example))]
public class ExampleGUI : Editor {
void OnSceneGUI() {
var ex = target as Example;
if (ex == null) return;
EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
var a = Handles.PositionHandle(ex.vectorA, Quaternion.identity);
var b = Handles.PositionHandle(ex.vectorB, Quaternion.identity);
var c = Handles.PositionHandle(ex.vectorC, Quaternion.identity);
if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) {
Undo.RecordObject(target, "Vector Positions");
ex.vectorA = a;
ex.vectorB = b;
ex.vectorC = c;
EditorUtility.SetDirty(target);
}
}
}All vectors drawn between .Begin() and .End() will be in the same draw-call.
