How to set max size of Line Renderer?

Hey,

I have a script where I'm drawing the line. I get

Code (CSharp):

1. startPosition when touch.phase ==TouchPhase.Began

and

Code (CSharp):

1. endPosition when touch.phase ==TouchPhase.Moved

Then I'm setting Line Renderer:

Code (CSharp):

1. line.SetPosition (0, new Vector3 (startPosition.x, startPosition.y, -1));
2. line.SetPosition (1, new Vector3 (endPosition.x, endPosition.y, -1));

It works fine but I want to clamp length of this line to some value for example 5.0f.
I tried ClampMagnitude of endPosition but it doesn't work.
Do you know how can I get it?

Thanks.

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. float dist = Vector3.Distance(startPos, endPos);
3. if(dist > 5)
4. return;
5.  
6. else{
7. ///set positions of lines
8. }

 

Thanks, it works now.

 

This works, but in my game the player can drag a line and when it exceeds the max allowed value it just stop and I want to make it continue moving the line and not use return because it just freezes the line.

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Vector3 dir = endPos - startPos;
3. float dist = Mathf.Clamp(Vector3.Distance(startPos, endPos), 0, maxDist);
4. endPos = startPos + (dir.normalized * dist);
5.  

 

4 years later... You gave me the perfect answer for my game! I appreciate it!

 

How to set the maximum size of a line render if it consists of multiple points?

Code (CSharp):

1. List<Vector3> buffer = new List<Vector3>();
2. ai2.GetRemainingPath(buffer, out bool stale);
3. line.positionCount = buffer.Count;
4. line.SetPositions(buffer.ToArray());

 

How could I get this to work with Vector2? I can't get it to work in my instance.

Please don't necro-post with vague unanswerable things like "I can't get it to work."

This is the bare minimum of information to report:

- what you want
- what you tried
- what you expected to happen
- what actually happened, especially any errors you see
- links to documentation you used to cross-check your work (CRITICAL!!!)

If you post a code snippet, ALWAYS USE CODE TAGS:

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector2 dir = endPos - startPos;
2. float dist = Mathf.Clamp(Vector2.Distance(startPos, endPos), 0, maxDist);
3. endPos = startPos + (dir.normalized * dist);

 

Thanks, noted moving forward!

 

It doesn't work in my case

Is there any way to make line renderer length limit ?

line renderer endPos follow mouse position but line length goes infinite want line renderer length limited.
