Tube Builder

Overview

This component is used to dynamically generate a simple cylinder mesh between two points. Using the Continous Update property, the created tube will constantly update itself to fit between two points.

The object this component is added to acts as the starting point of the tube.

Setup

1. Create an empty object.
2. Select Add Component in the inspector window and select the TubeBuilder component.
3. Create a new gameobject to act as your target. Assign this object to the Target field.

Component Properties

Field	Description
Target	A transform representing the end point of the tube.
Radius	The radius of the generated tube mesh.
Tiling Offset	The vertical tiling of the MainTex on the generated mesh.
Material	The material set here will be assigned to the generated mesh.
Layer	The layer to place the generated mesh on.
Use Collider	If enabled, the generated mesh will have a physics collider.
Physic Material	The physics material applied to the generated mesh’s collider.
Pre Generate	Setting this to true will immediately generate the tube mesh, and will not regenerate the mesh ingame.
