Make sphere represent a range

So I have a turret that has it's range defined by a float value: range

I check the distance between the turret and it's target with Vector3.Distance, and it only targets it if the distance is lower than range then it does not shoot. I want to reprisent this by making a sphere that shows the range of the tower.

This is what i did:

Code (CSharp):

1.         rangeIndicator.transform.localScale = new Vector3(range,range, range);

Now, it scales fine, but the problem is that it seems to be way smaller than the actual range of the tower.

I have a suspicion that transform.localScale uses some kind of other scale? because if, for example my range float = 20, the sphere scales to 20,20,20 but it's not the same size as the range of the tower.

 

I would gess the diameter of the base sphere is one, so it's radius is 0.5, maybe you need to multiply your range by two.

 

such a simple solution to an obvious problem. I'm really not on point today!

Thanks.

 

My pleasure
