LineRenderer.SetPositions

Switch to Manual
public void SetPositions(Vector3[] positions);

Parameters

positions The array of positions to set.

Description

Set the positions of all vertices in the line.

This method is preferred to SetPosition when setting all positions, as it is more efficient to set all positions using a single command than to set each position individually.

See Also: numPositions property.

See Also: SetPosition function.
