Description

Grid is the base class for plotting a layout of uniformly spaced points and lines.

The Grid component stores dimensional data of the layout of the grid and provides helper functions to retrieve information about the grid, such as the conversion between the cell location and local space location of items within the grid.

The layout of the Grid component is in the XY plane with the origin of the grid always beginning at (0, 0) and the X and Y coordinates of the grid only as positive values.

Implements the interface GridLayout.

Properties

cellGapThe size of the gap between each cell in the Grid.
cellLayoutThe layout of the cells in the Grid.
cellSizeThe size of each cell in the Grid.
cellSwizzleThe cell swizzle for the Grid.

Public Methods

GetCellCenterLocalGet the logical center coordinate of a grid cell in local space.
GetCellCenterWorldGet the logical center coordinate of a grid cell in world space.

Static Methods

InverseSwizzleDoes the inverse swizzle of the given position for given swizzle order.
SwizzleSwizzles the given position with the given swizzle order.

Properties

enabledEnabled Behaviours are Updated, disabled Behaviours are not.
isActiveAndEnabledReports whether a GameObject and its associated Behaviour is active and enabled.
gameObjectThe game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object.
tagThe tag of this game object.
transformThe Transform attached to this GameObject.
cellGapThe size of the gap between each cell in the layout.
cellLayoutThe layout of the cells.
cellSizeThe size of each cell in the layout.
cellSwizzleThe cell swizzle for the layout.
hideFlagsShould the object be hidden, saved with the Scene or modifiable by the user?
nameThe name of the object.

Public Methods

BroadcastMessageCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
CompareTagChecks the GameObject's tag against the defined tag.
GetComponentGets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified.
GetComponentInChildrenGets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any child of the GameObject.
GetComponentIndexGets the index of the component on its parent GameObject.
GetComponentInParentGets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any parent of the GameObject.
GetComponentsGets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified.
GetComponentsInChildrenGets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any child of the GameObject.
GetComponentsInParentGets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any parent of the GameObject.
SendMessageCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
SendMessageUpwardsCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour.
TryGetComponentGets the component of the specified type, if it exists.
CellToLocalConverts a cell position to local position space.
CellToLocalInterpolatedConverts an interpolated cell position in floats to local position space.
CellToWorldConverts a cell position to world position space.
GetBoundsLocalReturns the local bounds for a cell at the location.
GetLayoutCellCenterGet the default center coordinate of a cell for the set layout of the Grid.
LocalToCellConverts a local position to cell position.
LocalToCellInterpolatedConverts a local position to cell position.
LocalToWorldConverts a local position to world position.
WorldToCellConverts a world position to cell position.
WorldToLocalConverts a world position to local position.
GetInstanceIDGets the instance ID of the object.
ToStringReturns the name of the object.

Static Methods

DestroyRemoves a GameObject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediateDestroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoadDo not destroy the target Object when loading a new Scene.
FindAnyObjectByTypeRetrieves any active loaded object of Type type.
FindFirstObjectByTypeRetrieves the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsByTypeRetrieves a list of all loaded objects of Type type.
InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.
InstantiateAsyncCaptures a snapshot of the original object (that must be related to some GameObject) and returns the AsyncInstantiateOperation.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
