    Hi everyone!

    I'm here to present my first tool RNDMeshArea​



    The first release has been send for submitting.

    RNDMeshArea :

    RNDMeshArea     is a simple tool allowing you to get a random position in a Mesh. It works with very complex mesh and can be useful in a lot of situations.

    Very easy to use, this tool just need 2 steps in order to work:

    - Add the layer "RNDMeshArea" in the Layer Manager tab
    - Add the component "RNDMeshArea" on the Mesh.

    RNDMeshArea just need a MeshFilter in order to work, the MeshRenderer will be ignored and disable at runtime ( You can enable it again if you want, but RNDMeshArea modify the triangles by reversing normals for some specifics reasons)

    And you are now done! You just need to get the component on the desired gameobject and call the function "GetRandomPosition(bool shapeOnly)"
    the argument shapeOnly allow you to define if you want the position to be on the shape of the mesh only or in too.

    MultiRNDMeshArea :

    But that's not all! To help you, there is another component called "MultiRNDMeshArea". This one allow you to manage multiple RNDMeshArea at the same time. If you add it on a gameobject, it will search for each children gameobject with a MeshFilter on it and add it a RNDMeshArea component.
    Now you can call the function "GetRandomPosition(bool shapeOnly)" on the component and it will return a random position in or on one of the different mesh found by the MultiRNDMeshArea.






    I hope this tool will help a lot of you! I needed this tool for a personnal project and it helped me a lot!

    Some features will be added in the futures depending of the needs !
