`RenderOptions` available in `MeshComponent` by Remscar · Pull Request #78 · Facepunch/sbox-public

Remscar · 2025-12-01T18:10:53Z

This PR adds a RenderOptions member to MeshComponent and applies the options onto the SceneObject.

They are used and operate the same way that ModelRenderer implements them.

This ultimately allows invisible MeshComponent's which cast shadows; before if you selected "Hide in Game" and had rendering to "Shadows Only", no shadows would be cast.

Something for @aylaylay to think about

Remscar · 2025-12-05T18:29:28Z

@aylaylay My use case for this is I would like to create a shadow casting volume without having the actual mesh be visible to the player, similar to solid block light in hammer

Tint pause button blue when the game is paused.

- `PolygonMesh.SetFaceTextureCoords()` now properly sets `IsDirty` - Added `PolygonMesh.GetFaceTextureCoords()` - Added `FastTextureWindow` (which extends RectEditor.Window) and `FastTextureSettings` classes - Added `MeshRectangle` which is a RectEditor `Rectangle` that contains faces from a mesh unwrapped within the rectangle, reflecting any transform changes made back to the associated mesh faces - Added `EdgeAwareFaceUnwrapper` class which handles all UV unwrapping - Added a "Fast Texturing Tool" button to the Mapping Tool's Texture Mode which opens a FastTextureWindow with the selected faces. This can also be opened with the shortcut CTRL+G (from the Texture Mode OR the Face Mode) - If a Fast Texturing Tool window is open and the faces are deselected (or the user exits the Mapping Tool) the window will automatically close itself - Implemented U/V Alignment Settings (+ Horizontal/Vertical Flip) - Implemented Inset X/Y Settings - Implemented Square Unwrap, Planar Unwrap, and Use Existing mapping modes - If the selected material has a rect asset, you can double-click on a rect to automatically fit your UV rectangle to the one you double-clicked. (You can also toggle the visibility of the material's rects) - Implemented the "Pick Edge" button which allows you to select an edge from the unwrap and automatically orient the UVs so that the selected edge is aligned with the grid. - Added `Rectangle,CanDelete`, used by MeshRectangles so they cant be deleted - Fixed `RectView.DragResizeRect` behaviour so that resizing a rect will snap the dragged edges to the grid instead of just increasing/decreasing by the grid size - Added Panning/Zooming to the Rect Editor - Disabling the Grid in the RectEditor now disables grid snapping - Can now resize rects in on themselves to resize in the other direction without making an invalid rect - Added Tile View to RectView

Pull request overview

This PR adds RenderOptions support to MeshComponent, enabling advanced rendering control such as rendering to specific layers (Game, Overlay, Bloom, AfterUI). This allows MeshComponent to have the same rendering flexibility as ModelRenderer, particularly enabling invisible meshes that cast shadows.

Changes:

Added RenderOptions property with lazy initialization pattern matching the Renderer base class
Added OnRenderOptionsChanged callback that updates the SceneObject when render options change
Applied RenderOptions to the SceneObject in UpdateSceneObject()
