I would like to use Min Clip Distance, but works only in Giants editor - not working in game, what to do, or how to enable it in game...

Or help me with a script to be called onCreate, and when player distance is less then Min Clip Distance to be object visibility=false

Thanks to all...

Hi Milan,

Min Clip is not supported in LS11. You have to wait for LS13.

Best,
Chris

Christian I could not wait so I write this mod-script to be called width extraSourceFiles - please check it for some faster or easier way to determinate some variables

If some one need it copy from bellow

-- Usage:
-- In editor select object You want to be hiden when you are near it, an add user attribute:
-- name="MinClipDistance" type="float" value="175"
-- name="onCreate" type="scriptCallback" value="MinClipDistance.OnCreate"
-- float value is value in meters when object hide
--

MinClipDistance = {}

local MinClipDistance_mt = Class(MinClipDistance)

function MinClipDistance:onCreate(id)

end

local instance = {}
if customMt ~= nil then

end

instance.objectId = id

return instance
end

function MinClipDistance:update(dt)

local distance = 10000

-- TODO find better way to determinate player position on foot or in wehicle
