How to get height and width of a mesh?

[Artem]

I've been checking this documentation, but didn't find anything I can use. Please, help.

Nevermind, I figured it out (silly me). I just used '.scaling.y' to get height.

var myMeshHeight = myMesh.scaling.y;

Hmmm, I'm not sure that it is exactly what you want. "scaling.y" is a factor not the final size.

You may want to use player.getBoundingInfo().boundingBox which contains size along x,y and z of the box which wrapps the mesh.

 

Where does 1/60 come from? Is it a value which works for your meshes (ground and player) or works for any other ones?

Oh, I need to try it then. Thank you for the tip.

 

1/60 is my default world timer (fps), I didn't figure out any other ways yet, so I just use 1/60 everywhere where I calculate stuff.

 

I'm new to all this

I tried it, but 'minimumWorld' and 'maximumWorld' vectors gives all the same numbers as 'scaling' does. Am I doing something wrong? I'm confused.

[gwenael]

var vectorsWorld = player.getBoundingInfo().boundingBox.vectorsWorld; // summits of the bounding boxvar d = vectorsWorld[1].subtract(vectorsWorld[0]).length; // distance between summit 0 and summit 1

Thus you can get the width, the depth and the height of the bounding box, you just need to modify the indices (1 and 0) in the second expression.

 

The values that you will obtain may be the same than 'scaling' BUT it will only be a special case I think.

 

You can replace all your 1/60 by 1/BABYLON.Tools.GetFps()

[Artem]

Ah, I think I got it now. Thanks a lot for information, gwenael! Also, thanks a lot for 'BABYLON.Tools.GetFps()', that's the thing I was looking for as well.

[gwenael]

My pleasure.

Tested it. It really works just like 'scaling' thing (at least it looks all the same in game), but I feel that 'getBoundingInfo' method is much more accurate than 'scaling' one. Much more stuff to play with too

 

Thanks once again for your help, gwenael ♥

This worked for me...

var vectorsWorld = YOURMESH.getBoundingInfo().boundingBox.vectorsWorld; 
width = Number(vectorsWorld[1].x-(vectorsWorld[0].x))

Maybe, this way:

width = mesh.geometry.extend.maximum.x-mesh.geometry.extend.minimum.x
