FindSpawnPositions Class

Extends MonoBehaviour

Allows for fast generation of valid (inside the room, outside furniture bounds) random positions for content spawning.

Optional method to pin directly to surfaces. This class leverages the MRUKRoom.GenerateRandomPositionInRoom and MRUKRoom.GenerateRandomPositionOnSurface methods to provide a simple interface for spawning content in the room.

Member Enumerations

Enumeration SpawnLocation

Defines possible locations where objects can be spawned.

Floating	Spawn somewhere floating in the free space within the room.
AnySurface	Spawn on any surface (i.e. a combination of all 3 options below)
VerticalSurfaces	Spawn only on vertical surfaces such as walls, windows, wall art, doors, etc...
OnTopOfSurfaces	Spawn on surfaces facing upwards such as ground, top of tables, beds, couches, etc...
HangingDown	Spawn on surfaces facing downwards such as the ceiling.

This value represents the extents of the bounding box

LayerMask LayerMask[Get]
