Manipulating vertices through colliders
Hey, I'm experimenting with Fog of War and trying a different approach than the usual raycast/transparency. I have a plane's vertices stored in an Vector3 array. I also have a sphere collider that checks if there are any vertices in it and if there are, submerge them by putting their Y on -1.
Now the mesh reacts to it, but not how its suppose to. Currently only the center few vertices seem to react on my sphere collider. Anyone any idea where I went wrong? This is my current script:
for(int i = 0; i < vertices.Length;i++){
vertices[i] = OriginalPositions[i];
if(ManipulatingObject.bounds.Contains(OriginalPositions[i])){
vertices[i].x = -1;
}
mesh.vertices = vertices;
mesh.RecalculateNormals();
}
$$anonymous$$esh vertices are in local coordinates. Is the $$anonymous$$anipulatingObject.bounds also in local coordinates? Collider.bounds will be world coordinates.
Ah yes, this helped me a lot! Posted an answer based on your insight.
Apparently, vertices are in local space, so it's necessary to convert them to world space using transform.TransformPoint. Also, apparently my axes were off. Working script:
for(int i = 0; i < vertices.Length;i++){
vertex = OriginalPositions[i];
Vector3 temp = vertex;
temp = transform.TransformPoint(vertex);
if(ManipulatingObject.bounds.Contains(temp)){
//Debug.Log (temp);
vertex.z = -1;
}
vertices[i] = vertex;
mesh.vertices = vertices;
}
