'Ghost Graphic' for Buildings
In games like Starcraft 2, there are green outlines of objects marking where the object would be built. How can this be accomplished in a performance friendly way? Are there any guides or resources that could help me make this?
Just change the material on the object to use a semi-transparent monochrome shader. Perhaps http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=AlphaVertexLitZ ?
Ah, ty. I guess I just disable all script and have only the renderer working?
I would just temporarily instantiate a new gameobject that only has a renderer and meshfilter, and assign the original building's sharedmesh to it. You could set up a prefab for that purpose which already has both components, and the right material with the transparent shader, so you only need to assign the right mesh.
