Mesh wont render although there are no errors!
Hello! Im trying to generate a simple plane in form of a mesh with this code, but it wont render/show up although there are NO errors. I also have already tried to hardcode some vertices and triangles to see if they get rendered and the do somehow! I dont know what the problem is, i would be very thankfull for any advise or tips!
With hardcoded testmode ON: 
With hardcoded testmode OFF:

The problem was i had to use lists instead of arrays. Lists are dynamic arrays and can be resized...
