AIMContextIndicator Class Reference

Description

The purpose of AIMContextIndicator is to display the objective values during runtime.

In contrast to the AIMContext indicator that uses Unity gizmos, this component uses a shader-based visualization. That makes it applicable even in build mode as long as the target platform supports geometry shaders.

It is possible and often advisable to attach more than one instance of this class to see the combined effect of multiple objectives. A lot of parameters can be adjusted to retain the overview of multiple visualizations, like different IndicatorTypes, the Scale or the SplatShape.

Note, to ensure that the component is functional in build mode, include the Splat shader and the Extrude shader to the "always included shaders" list in the projects Graphics settings.
