Question by tytbone · Jan 28, 2015 at 11:15 AM · positioncubeboundsdrawgizmo

Using Gizmos.DrawWireCube to draw position bounds?

I am trying to draw the rectangular bounds of a BoxCollider2D that holds the bounds of where my camera can go. Unfortunately I'm having some trouble acquiring the x, y coordinates and applying them via scripting. I can draw a box but can't figure out how to make it the exact dimensions of the "green" outline.

Here is what I have:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class DrawCameraBounds : MonoBehaviour {
 
     private float CamBoundsX;
     private float CamBoundsY;
 
     void Start()
     {
         //have to assign variable meaning in function?
         //CamBounds = GameObject.Find("CameraBounds").GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>;
         CamBoundsX = collider.bounds.size.x;
         CamBoundsY = collider.bounds.size.y;
 
     }
 
     void OnDrawGizmos()
     {
         Gizmos.color = Color.red;
         Gizmos.DrawWireCube(transform.position, new Vector2(CamBoundsX+5 , CamBoundsY+5));
     }
 
 }

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Here is what I currently have (I changed the BoxCollider2D to a BoxCollider):

public class DrawCameraBounds : MonoBehaviour {

 public float CamBoundsX;
 public float CamBoundsY;

 void Start()
 {

     CamBoundsX = GetComponent<BoxCollider>().collider.bounds.size.x;
     CamBoundsY = GetComponent<BoxCollider>().collider.bounds.size.y;

 }

 void OnDrawGizmos()
 {
     Gizmos.color = Color.red;
     Gizmos.DrawWireCube(transform.position, new Vector2(CamBoundsX+5, CamBoundsY+5));
 }

}

I also experimented with this, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

public class DrawCameraBounds2 : MonoBehaviour {

 private Vector3 CamBounds;

 void Start() 
 {
     CamBounds = GameObject.Find("CameraBounds").GetComponent<BoxCollider>().size;
 }

 void OnDrawGizmos()
 {
     Gizmos.color = Color.red;
     Gizmos.DrawWireCube(transform.position, CamBoundsX);
 }

}

In case anyone needs this in the future. This code from github will give you the results without rotation.

If you do need rotation then this thread shows how to rotate points around a pivot, so you can do that for each point.
