  debugoverlay.Axis( Vector origin, Angle ang, number size, number lifetime = 1, boolean ignoreZ = false )
Search Github

Description

Displays an axis indicator at the specified position, with 3 lines pointing in the positive direction (i.e. direction in which the values increase) of each axis.

This function will silently fail if the developer ConVar is set to 0.
It is not networked to clients, except for the listen server host.
It will not work when the game is paused.

Arguments

1 Vector origin
Position origin.
2 Angle ang
Angle of the axis.
3 number size
Size of the axis.
4 number lifetime = 1
Number of seconds to appear.
5 boolean ignoreZ = false
If true, will draw on top of everything; ignoring the Z buffer.

Example

Render the axis at the map origin, unrotated (Angle(0, 0, 0)).

Note that the green line is pointing to the left, despite there not being an Angle:Left function. It operates per the right hand rule.

The colors represent the direction it is pointing to:

  • Red: Points to ang:Forward(), positive X
  • Green: Points to -ang:Right(), "left" or "negative right", positive Y
  • Blue: Points to ang:Up(), positive Z
local pos = Vector(0, 0, 0) local ang = Angle(0, 0, 0) local len = 30 local lifetime = 5 local size = 10 debugoverlay.Axis(pos, ang, size, lifetime, true) debugoverlay.Cross(pos + ang:Forward() * len, size, lifetime, Color(255, 0, 0), true) -- Red debugoverlay.Cross(pos - ang:Right() * len, size, lifetime, Color(0, 255, 0), true) -- Green debugoverlay.Cross(pos + ang:Up() * len, size, lifetime, Color(0, 0, 255), true) -- Blue
