Getting radius around multiple transform
Hey there!
So I have an array of Transforms which are hexagon based tiles. They get instantiated in a pseudo-random, but always adjacent to each other. I also have a sphere/circle that is positioned to the center of all those tiles by taking the average of all those Transforms positions. (See link for clarification) Image
What I'm trying to do now is expand that red sphere/circle so that it encompasses all those Transforms, basically creating a perimeter around all the tiles. I was wondering how you would approach a solution, because I'm drawing blanks.
Thanks in advance!

I do not know how your code is set up, so this may not fit exactly, but hopefully it will get you moving in the right direction.
// The number of hexagons on the screen.
int numHexOnScreen = 0;
// The position of the cicle base on hexagon tranforms.
Vector2 circlePos = new Vector2();
// The radius of the cicle.
float radius = 0;
void Update()
{
// First, add a hexagon and increment numHexOnScreen.
AddHexagon();
// Then, calculate the new position of the cicle.
FindCirclePos();
// Finally, increase the radius if needed.
FindRadius();
}
void FindRadius()
{
// The distance between the circle's position and the position of the newest hexagon.
float proposedRadius = Vector2.Distance(circlePos, hex[numHexOnScreen - 1]);
// If the proposed radius is greater than the current radius, expand the current radius.
if (radius < proposedRadius)
radius = proposedRadius;
}
