Handles.DrawLines lines not showing in scene view
Hi everyone. So here's the problem, I'm trying to make a selection box in the scene view but the lines are not showing up. Here's my code:
private void DrawSelectionBox(float originX, float originY, float endX, float endY) {
Debug.Log(originX + " " + originY + " " + endX + " " + endY);
Vector3 topLeft = new Vector3(originX, originY, 0f);
Vector3 botLeft = new Vector3(originX, endY, 0f);
Vector3 botRight = new Vector3(endX, endY, 0f);
Vector3 topRight = new Vector3(endX, originY, 0f);
Vector3[] lines = { topLeft, botLeft, botRight, topRight };
int[] indexes = { 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 0 };
//Handles.DrawLines(lines, indexes);
//Handles.DrawLine(new Vector3(originX, originY, originY), new Vector3(endX, endY, endY));
Handles.DrawSolidRectangleWithOutline(lines, new Color(1, 1, 1, 0.2f), new Color(0, 0, 0, 1));
}
Everything is inside OnSceneGUI and still not showing anything. Please help :/ Thanks in advance!

You're using the wrong method :-)
The code should be called from the OnDrawGizmos function like this:
private void OnDrawGizmos() {
DrawSelectionBox(1, 1, 6, 2);
}
This produces the following: 
Thanks for the reply! One question though. That method is in an editor script and i cant use OnDrawGizmos in there. Any ideas on that? I thought of connecting somehow the OnDrawGizmos on the monobehaviour with the editor script but im not sure if that works.
