Laser pointer thingy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdci2oxVaoA Like in this tutorial, only in 3d

actually my code is from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzHNUT9q4JE but similar effect

[autumn wind]

so what's the problem with how the linerenderer is currently working?

uh

or how it will work once the jitter problem is fixed?

it sounds like the only other thing that you would need to do is assign a material to the renderer

[mystic laurel]

you mean like the problem comes frm the missing material?

[autumn wind]

maybe?

I'm not certain what the problem is besides the jitter.

to me, it looks like the laser would work as intended once complete

[mystic laurel]

Beside the jitter the billboardeffect is my other problem. Do you understand what I try to remove? I dont know if its possible at all, since the line renderer is 2D

[autumn wind]

which is why I suggested making it geometry instead

but that would make everything so much more complicated

I would just finish the tutorial then go from there

[mystic laurel]

But the jitter should be independent from it or? All tuts I saw made everything in the Normal update function

[autumn wind]

If I had to guess, I would think that how you are moving the camera would be affecting how the line renderer looks in the game view

the two tutorials you showed have fixed cameras

[mystic laurel]

Thats what I also thought. Im using the first Person Controller

[autumn wind]

At this point, I don't know what to do, besides trying to update the linerenderer in fixedupdate

while keeping the calculations for its start/endpoint in update

if that doesn't work, I have no idea what to do.

And I'm getting hungry

Its getting late here, Thank you for your help, I gave me some input to try somd things
