Component:ArrowMesh

Arrow Mesh is a procedural Asset mesh that generates a cylinder with a cone on the end. Like a 3d arrow. The Arrow Mesh allows for vertex color customization, as well as defining a shape and a direction, aka a Vector.

Fields

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled.
HighPriorityIntegration	Bool	If true, integrating this asset (e.g. processing procedural assets) gets higher priority than assets with this flag off. An example is user laser procedural meshes.
OverrideBoundingBox	Bool	Force the bounding box calculated from this component to use OverridenBoundingBox instead of calculating when requested.
OverridenBoundingBox	BoundingBox	the bounding box this component should say it has when OverrideBoundingBox is enabled. Useful for bounding box calculations with Flux, or changing the selection box for this component when rendered.
Profile	ColorProfile	The profile that the vertex colors for this mesh should be displayed in.
Vector	Float3	the direction in local space of the mesh render rendering this arrow that the arrow should point towards. Also defines the length. For more information on Local Space, see Coordinate Spaces
Sides	Int	how many sides the cone and cylinder of this arrow should have.
BodyRadius	Float	Determines the thickness of the base under the arrow.
HeadRadius	Float	Determines the radius of the arrows head's base.
HeadLength	Float	Determines the length of the arrow's head.
MinimalBodyLength	Float	Determines the arrow's length at minimum. In case the provided Vector's magnitude is less than this number.
SphereOnZero	Bool	whether the arrow should render as a sphere instead when the Vector is (0,0,0)
BodyUVScale	Float2	the scale multipler of the uvs on the cylinder body. Uvs of the cylinder is the same as a procedural cylinder.
BodyUVOffset	Float2	the shifted offset of the uvs for the cylinder body in 2d space
HeadUVScale	Float2	the scale multiplier of the uvs on the cone head. Uv of the cone is the same as a procedural cone.
HeadUVOffset	Float2	the shifted offset of the uvs for the cone head in 2d space
BaseColor	ColorX	Color of the vertices of the bottom edge of the arrow.
TopColor	ColorX	Color of the vertices of the top edge of the arrow.
HeadColor	ColorX	Color of the vertices of the head of the arrow.

Examples

Can be used to determine the direction an object is traveling. The vector can be driven using flux and is useful for debugging in cases where the Debug Vector Flux Node is not very practical.

The arrow mesh is also used in Gizmos to draw the 3 arrow axes in the visual.
