How can I display wireframes ?

[linuxgurugamer]

I'd like to see if I can make KRASH display wireframes like this post requests, how can I do that?:

This is built in in Scatterer. Maybe @blackrack might be interested to help you?

It's very simple, just add this script to your camera https://github.com/LGhassen/Scatterer/blob/master/scatterer/wireFrame.cs

In scatterer I add it to the near, far, and scaled cameras.

Thanks, will be a nice addition

So I have it working, but it's kind of weird.  It seems that the wireframe depends on the distance from the camera, see this imgur album for what I'm seeing:

Ideally, I'd like the vessel to be wireframe and everything else normal.  Barring that, then everything to be wireframe

Ideas?

I found that by adjusting the Camera.main.farClipPlane, I can have the wireframes rendered further away.  But I would prefer to only have the vessel wireframe, not sure how to do that yet

[blackrack]

It looks like you're adding the script to the nearCamera only, add it also to the far one.

There is no easy way to apply it to the vessel only, you will need to write a custom shader and replace the parts shaders with it.

Don't play with the render distances. You ll break the whole multicamera rendering.

I don't have to, I found some cone in one of the mods I'm maintaining which will do it.

Thanks

I'm a bit stumped.  I have code from Kerbal Object Inspector which can display a part as wireframe in the editor very nicely, you can see the code here: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/KerbalObjectInspector/blob/master/Source/KerbalObjectInspector/WireFrame.cs

And this is where the component is added to the parts (code here: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/KerbalObjectInspector/blob/master/Source/KerbalObjectInspector/Hierarchy.cs):

 void OnSelectionChanged()
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < selectionChain.Count; i++ )
            {
                // If the transform has some form of mesh renderer,
                if (selectionChain[i].GetComponent<MeshFilter>() || selectionChain[i].GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>())
                {
                    // Add a WireFrame object to it.
                    WireFrame added = selectionChain[i].gameObject.AddComponent<WireFrame>();

                    // If the current index doesn't point to the last in the chain,
                    if (i < selectionChain.Count - 1)
                    {
                        // Dim the color a bit.
                        added.lineColor = new Color(0.0f, 0.5f, 0.75f);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

 

So I've tried adapting it to the flight scene, and have not had a lot of success.  I am getting wireframes, but it looks wierd:

 var v = FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel;

                    foreach (var p in v.parts)
                    {
                        var mf = p.FindModelComponents<MeshFilter>();
                        var smr = p.FindModelComponents<SkinnedMeshRenderer>();

                      if ((mf != null && mf.Count > 0) || (smr != null && smr.Count > 0))
                        {
                            // Add a WireFrame object to it.
                            WireFrame added = p.gameObject.AddComponent<WireFrame>();                          
                        }

                    }
                }

What I am getting is the following.  Anybody have any ideas what's wrong?  :

It is rendered on all cameras.

Read a bit on how OnRenderObject works

So in the editor, only a single camera is being used, but in flight vthete are multiple cameras?

Ok, so it's a camera issue, I did a quick test and saw that there are 10 different cameras being used in the scene.

And rereading what @blackrack said earlier, I'm beginning to understand.

Is there any place which describes which cameras are used for what?

• GalaxyCamera
• ScaledSpace
• Camera 01
• Camera 00
• UIMainCamera
• UIVectorCamera
• kerbalCam
• KASCamItem4
• KASCamItem6
• KASCamItem8
• KASCamItem10

I found the KASCam* in KerbalInventorySystem, so I'll ignore those.

[linuxgurugamer]

I found from the Scatterer code that it's the Camera 00 I need to use
