I am working on my first 2nd game. I have a problem in creating a playing field. I need to do 3 things.
- Fill the box with square pegs (done)
- Show an arbitrary number on each plate (done)
- Show grid lines ( problem here )
To create my board, I use a script attached to the main camera. This is the function I use:
void BoardSetup()
{
board = new GameObject("Board");
boardHolder = board.transform;
for (int x = 0; x < columns; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < rows; y++)
{
GameObject toInstantiateBackground = snowTile;
GameObject backgroundInstance = Instantiate(toInstantiateBackground, new Vector3(x, y, 0f), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
backgroundInstance.transform.SetParent(boardHolder);
AddRandomNumber(backgroundInstance, x, y);
}
}
float step = snowTile.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.max[0] - snowTile.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.min[0];
CreateGrid(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), new Vector3(rows-1, columns-1, 0f), step);
}
This is my CreateGrid block:
void CreateLineMaterial()
{
if (!lineMaterial)
{
lineMaterial = new Material("Shader \"Lines/Colored Blended\" {" +
"SubShader { Pass { " +
" Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha " +
" ZWrite Off Cull Off Fog { Mode Off } " +
" BindChannels {" +
" Bind \"vertex\", vertex Bind \"color\", color }" +
"} } }");
lineMaterial.hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave;
lineMaterial.shader.hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave;
}
}
private void CreateGrid(Vector3 start, Vector3 stop, float step)
{
CreateLineMaterial();
lineMaterial.SetPass(0);
GL.Begin(GL.LINES);
GL.Color(gridColor);
for (float x = start[0]; x <= stop[0]; x += step)
{
GL.Vertex3(x, 0f, 0f);
GL.Vertex3(x, stop[1], 0f);
}
for (float y = start[0]; y <= stop[1]; y += step)
{
GL.Vertex3(0f, y, 0f);
GL.Vertex3(stop[0], y, 0f);
}
GL.End();
}
I used the example from here (and modified it).
But when I start my game, I see only snowy links and numbers 
I tried to run only CreateGrid (), but in this case I only see a black screen.
