Debug.DrawLine thickness

Is there a way to make Debug.Drawline thicker?

 

Not really. Why is that important? They are just visible inside the editor as they are pure debugging tools.

 

I created a static "DebugDraw" utility class for this, and other similar tools.

Here's my solution:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Static editor utility class for drawing.
2. public static class DebugDraw
3. {
4.  
5. // Last known pixel-ratio of the scene view camera. This represents the world-space distance between each pixel.
6. // This cache gets around an issue where the scene view camera is null on certain editor frames.
7. private static float lastKnownSceneViewPixelRatio = 0.001f;
8.  
9. // Draws a line in the scene
10. public static void DrawLine(Vector3 start, Vector3 end, float thickness, Color color, float duration = 0f)
11. {
12. #if UNITY_EDITOR
13.     Vector3 lineDir = (end - start).normalized;
14.     Vector3 toCamera = Vector3.back;
15.  
16.     Camera camera = null;
17.     // Get the current scene view camera.
18.     if (SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView != null)
19.     {
20.         camera = SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView.camera;
21.     }
22.    
23.     if (camera == null)
24.     {
25.         // Default to the
26.         camera = Camera.current;
27.     }
28.     if (camera != null)
29.     {
30.         toCamera = (camera.transform.position - start).normalized;
31.         lastKnownSceneViewPixelRatio = (camera.orthographicSize * 2f) / camera.pixelHeight;
32.     }
33.    
34.     Vector3 orthogonal = Vector3.Cross(lineDir, toCamera).normalized;
35.     int pixelThickness = Mathf.CeilToInt(thickness);
36.     float totalThick = lastKnownSceneViewPixelRatio * pixelThickness;
37.     for(int i = 0; i < pixelThickness; i++)
38.     {
39.         Vector3 offset = orthogonal * ((i * lastKnownSceneViewPixelRatio) - (totalThick/2f));
40.         Debug.DrawLine(start + offset, end + offset, color, duration);
41.     }
42. #endif //UNITY_EDITOR
43. }
44.  
45. }

 

You can also adapt LineRenderer for the editor if you really want things to pop out.

 

Or use the Handles class instead: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Handles.DrawLine.html

 

Wow I never noticed Handles.DrawLine had thickness. Is it any good? Now I have to try it.
I like pretty gizmos, almost 60% of my work is in gizmos.

Edit:
I've just seen that image on unity docs FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, that's crazy
who knows what else I'm missing out on

 

You may not be crazy. Handles line thickness was introduced in Unity 2021.
