Asset that is specifically designed for hiding parts of multi-story buildings


For this asset to work, you will need to add one of the 3 functions included in this asset to your materials, then any mesh, to which those materials are applied, will be hidden by the Slicer.

Each type of Slicer requires its own Material Function.

(See Documentation for additional information).


Slicer does not cut the geometry or collision of the mesh, only hides a part of it.

Only one slicer can be used on a level at the same time.


Features:

3 types of mesh concealment:

Planar - hides everything that’s located on one of its sides

Box - hides everything inside, can be rotated and scaled, can also be inverted to hide everything outside of it. 

Spherical - hides everything inside, can be scaled and inverted 

  • Works both in the editor and during runtime
