LineRenderer.SetPosition

Switch to Manual
public void SetPosition(int index, Vector3 position);

Parameters

indexWhich position to set.
positionThe new position.

Description

Set the position of a vertex in the line.

Consider using SetPositions instead, if setting multiple positions, as it is much faster than making individual function calls for each position.

See Also: numPositions property.
