Hi?

Is it possible to draw 3D Lines in ut2004?
I have only found line drawing functions in
the Canvas class, but those are only for 2D
Lines...

And I don't want to use the DrawDebugLine...

If it isn't possible, how would I draw something
that is supposed to look like a line with variable
length?

thanks

Draw3DLine in the class Hud
Click to expand...

yepp, found it... but... it says in hud.uc that you're supposed to use it in the
RenderWorldOverlays() event...

So I added : in my hud class
Code: 
simulated event RenderWorldOverlays()
{
   Draw3DLine(StartPos,EndPos,Col);
}

but the event never happens... and the event isn't used anywhere
in the UT2004 code...

You could try the WorldToScreen function to set startpoint and endpoint... Check at unrealwiki (search for HUD_Interactions) for one use of it...

It wouldnt really be real 3d though...

heh... it's a typo :)
the real event is WorldSpaceOverlays , it's the last thing called when rendering the world (e.g. before the HUD is drawn).
if you looked at HUD or search for the Usage of Draw3DLine you might have noticed it.

and you don't need to use WorldToScreen
