Component:GridMesh

Component image 

Grid Mesh component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The GridMesh component generates a procedural mesh for use with Mesh Renderers that is like a Quad Mesh but has multiple squares instead of being one big square.

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. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
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.
Points	Int2	how many vertex points should be used on each axis to make the grid of quads
Size	Float2	how big the grid is scale wise.
FlatShading	Bool	Disable smooth shading
DisplacementMagnitude	Float	How far to displace the grid texture using DisplacementTexture
DisplacementTexture	Texture2D	The texture to use for displacement. must be set to Uncompressed.

Sync Delegates

Triggers

Method Name	Method type and Arguments.	Is the method hidden?	Description
BakeMesh:Action	Action	X	Bake meshes is a sync method that creates a static mesh component with this component, replaces all references to this component with the static mesh component, then deletes this component.

Usage

Attach to a slot and insert into a Component:MeshRenderer to see the geometry. Don't forget to use a Material.

Examples

The DisplacementTexture field can be used to create terrain from a greyscale image.

Notes: Make sure that both Readable and DirectLoad is set to True on the texture.

Example of using a texture to set an displacement map.
