How to get distance from position to transform bounds
Hey guys, this has been bugging me for some days now. Quite new to Unity, and it is possible that I misunderstood some concepts, so bear with me, please :).
I am trying to script a camera so that it can orbit a transform and zoom in right to the edge. The focal point of the camera is the transform pivot. The transform does not have the pivot right in the center, so I have to set the minimum distance of the camera as the max(distances between pivot and object bounds).
Is there any way to calculate this?
Do you use Renderer.bounds? Because it has center property which is the mesh's geometrical center. So you could orbit around it with max(bounds.extents.x, bounds.extents.y, bounds.extents.x) radius.
I do use it, but it seems my camera is centered on the transform pivot and not the geometrical center. I will try to set the camera focus point on the geometrical center and use your sugestion. If it works i will post the script later for other people to use.
I ended up using this:
distance$$anonymous$$in = $$anonymous$$athf.$$anonymous$$ax($$anonymous$$athf.Abs(Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(target).max.x - target.localPosition.x),
$$anonymous$$athf.Abs(target.localPosition.x - Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(target).$$anonymous$$.x),
$$anonymous$$athf.Abs(Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(target).max.y - target.localPosition.y),
$$anonymous$$athf.Abs(target.localPosition.y - Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(target).$$anonymous$$.y),
$$anonymous$$athf.Abs(Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(target).max.z - target.localPosition.z),
$$anonymous$$athf.Abs(target.localPosition.z - Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(target).$$anonymous$$.z));
where Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox is:
static public Bounds Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox(Transform transform) {
GameObject gameObj = transform.gameObject;
$$anonymous$$eshRenderer[] meshFilter = gameObj.GetComponentsInChildren<$$anonymous$$eshRenderer>();
if (meshFilter.Length>0)
{
Bounds bounds = meshFilter[0].bounds;
for (int i=1; i<meshFilter.Length; i++)
{
bounds.Encapsulate(meshFilter[i].bounds);
}
return bounds;
}
else return new Bounds();
}
Doesn't seem right. You are getting distance aligned with axes, not distance from camera. Also why would you have more than one $$anonymous$$eshRenderer? And it would be a good idea to call Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox just once and save it to a variable.
Distance aligned with axis is what i need. I want the $$anonymous$$imum distance to be the maximum of how much the target extends on any axis.
Agree about using just one $$anonymous$$eshRenderer and calling Get$$anonymous$$eshBoundingBox only once, will change my code.
