Question by mjonasz · Nov 18, 2019 at 07:56 PM · fog of war

Fog of war problem

I have the following "fog of war" script. It works well in hiding what is behind the view obstruction gameObjects (red lines on the image). However, it keeps showing an area that reaches out towards coordinate 0,0,0, completely ignoring the view obstruction. In the attached image, it's the long pointy triangle that reaches up and to the left. What am I doing wrong?

         {
             viewMesh = new Mesh();
             viewMesh.name = "View Mesh";
             viewMeshFilter.mesh = viewMesh;
             StartCoroutine("FindTargetsWithDelay", .2f); //this will start the co-routine every .2 seconds
         }
