How to hide voxels?

Voxels can be hidden using the VoxelSetHidden methods. Use VoxelIsHidden to determine voxel visibility (check API section for full list of public methods).

Hiding voxels is useful when you need the player to see through certain voxel layers or areas. In fact, the see-through system included in Voxel Play makes use internally of these methods.

The code below will hide voxels around player camera when pressing T and returned to normal when pressing Y.

Note that voxels are not removed, they simply are not rendered (colliders and navmesh data is not affected).

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using VoxelPlay;


public class HideVoxels : MonoBehaviour
{


    VoxelPlayEnvironment env;
    List<VoxelIndex> indices = new List<VoxelIndex> ();


    void Start()
    {
        env = VoxelPlayEnvironment.instance;
    }


    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.T)) {
            Vector3 min = Camera.main.transform.position - new Vector3 (50, 0, 50);
            Vector3 max = Camera.main.transform.position + new Vector3 (50, 20, 50);
            env.GetVoxelIndices (min, max, indices);
            env.VoxelSetHidden (indices, true);
        }
        if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Y)) {
            Vector3 min = Camera.main.transform.position - new Vector3 (50, 0, 50);
            Vector3 max = Camera.main.transform.position + new Vector3 (50, 20, 50);
            env.GetVoxelIndices (min, max, indices);
            env.VoxelSetHidden (indices, false);
        }


    }
}
