Overview


Advanced Outline Shader & Highlight System


Dive into the next level of player feedback with the Advanced Outline Shader & Highlight System! 🚀 This powerful, ready-to-use package provides everything you need to implement a professional and visually stunning interaction system in your Unity game.


What's Inside the Package?


📦 ObjectGlow.shader (Advanced Shader): A highly optimized surface shader based on Unity's Standard lighting model. It features:

  • Full standard PBR properties (Albedo, Normal, Metallic, Smoothness).
  • Customizable outline/border effect controlled by the _BorderWidth and _HighlightColor properties.
  • Dynamic Highlight Toggle driven by a Material Property Block for performance.
  • Optional Emission controls for added visual flair.
  • The outline is rendered in a separate Cull Front pass, expanding the mesh along its normals to create a clear border effect.

⚙️ InteractionHighlighter.cs (C# Script): A streamlined script designed to be placed on your camera or player object. This script:

  • Performs a raycast on every frame (Update) to detect interactable objects.
  • Uses customizable targetTags and a detectionLayers mask to precisely filter objects.
  • Dynamically enables/disables the highlight via ToggleHighlight by setting the _HighlightEnabled shader property using a MaterialPropertyBlock.
  • Provides visual feedback with an optional UI status indicator.

Why Buy This Asset?

  • ✅ Performance: Uses a Material Property Block to toggle the highlight without creating new material instances, ensuring minimal draw call overhead.
  • 🛠️ Customization: Easily adjust border width, color, distance, and target tags directly in the Inspector.
  • 🎮 Immersion: Give your players clear and immediate feedback when they can interact with an object, significantly improving the user experience.
