Question by sk00ter · Feb 12, 2015 at 03:32 PM · raycastlinerendererreflectionwidthreflect

Laser LineRenderer Tapers after first Reflect

I built a simple laser loop script that bounces after hitting an object with a "Mirror" tag. The script works fine but visually the LineRenderer end point tapers down to 0 after the first bounce even though I've set the start and endpoints both to .075 (in the component settings).

The laser can bounce multiple times but only the last bounce keeps a consistent width, all other past laser lines between bounces or from the origin will taper from .075 to 0.

I'm using an orthographic camera at x:30 rot. I've checked the width values multiple times and even set them as I render the code, but nothing seems to matter.

Any ideas? Code below:

 void RenderLaser(){
         hitCount = 1;
         laserActive = true;
         teleActive = false;
         curPos = transform.position;
         curRot = transform.forward;
         laserLine.SetVertexCount(1);
         laserLine.SetPosition (0, transform.position);
         
         while (laserActive) {
             hitCount++;
             laserLine.SetVertexCount(hitCount);
             if (Physics.Raycast (curPos, curRot, out laserHit, range)) {
                 
                 //hitCount++
                 curPos = laserHit.point;
                 curRot = Vector3.Reflect(curRot, laserHit.normal);
                 laserLine.SetPosition(hitCount-1, laserHit.point);
                 if(laserHit.collider.tag != "Mirror"){
                     laserActive = false;
                     if(laserHit.collider.tag == "WinFace"){
                         Debug.Log("Teleport Activated.");
                         teleActive = true;
                     }
                 }
             } else {
                 //hitCount++
                 laserActive = false;
                 laserLine.SetPosition(hitCount-1, curPos+100*curRot);
             }
             if (hitCount > limit){
                 laserActive = false;
             }
             //END WHILE
         }
         
     }
