rich atlas
Hi there,
is the an alternative to POLYGON_MODE_LINE that's available in the browser?
I'm trying to fake it in fragment shaders based on thresholds and barycentric coordinates but I notice it's quite non-trivial with inconsistent line width based on distance from the camera.
Wireframe looks fine (with a bit of tweaking) but it causes a panic in the browser because POLYGON_MODE_LINE isn't available.
Huh... https://mattdesl.svbtle.com/drawing-lines-is-hard Maybe I should read that.
I suspect that I might just have to generate some triangle geometry to fake drawing lines... Basically, I'm trying to fake a wireframe look in my game.
This might actually be non-trivial, lol. This might be fun; might even have to involve some vertex shaders and such :3

You should use bevy gizmos. They should work in the browser and don't use the polygon mode
It essentially does what you probably wanted to do which is to draw lines using a quad

Gizmos? Neat, gotta see what that’s about
It's gonna halfway clip into the walls, isn't it?

I think I could prevent them from clipping into faces if I offset them the line width off the normal of the surface?

I'm not sure which clipping you are referring to
rich atlas
Well, since I assume that gizmos are not just 1 pixel lines but rather very thin quads/triangles, the triangles technically can clip into other geometry and not actually look constant-width
Eh, they'll probably be close enough
I'm betting this will be one of those things literally only I notice about my own game

clipping and constant width are 2 different and unrelated things. I believe there's an option to keep the gizmos always on top
