Cause of screen position out of view frustum error?

[Ewanuk]

I have two builds of a project, Windows Standalone and WebGL.

Standalone is fine, but this error shows up each frame on my WebGL builds:

Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 0.000000, 0.000000, 10000.000000) (Camera rect 0 0 0 0)

What specifically causes this error? When the camera’s generated viewport covers zero pixels? When the frustum volume/size is indeterminate? (There being a zero where there shouldn’t be?)

Edit, I should elaborate, I’m getting this error after upgrading my project from Unity 5.5.1f1 to 2017.3f3

After some more digging. In this case, the screen size is being reported at 0x0, I’m not sure why that is…

The canvas element that contains the game container is sized correctly…:

I made a mistake, it looks like I just needed to make a div to assign to the canvas. Not have a canvas inside a canvas.

I tweaked the loading logic, now I have this in the DOM:

I’m not getting screen size error anymore, and unity is now correctly reporting a non-zero screen size, but nothing is getting rendered except the background color defined in web.json.

Any idea what’s going on?

I experienced the camera frustum error when I set my canvas element to display:none (to load it in the background). It seems that since 2017.3 this now throws the above error with the screen rect 0 0 0 0.

Your gameContainer also has a background colour set, have you tried removing that?

Resolved the issue, created another thread for it:

Build is only showing background color

After updating my project from 5.5.1f1 to 2017.3, our webGL builds are no longer rendering properly. They only show the background color defined in web.json. I’m logging the state of the active camera and screen size, and I’m not seeing anything odd there (camera has correct transform, viewport and frustum properties, screen size is correct). What could cause this? I’m not seeing any errors in the web console.

Appreciate the response JJJohan

Hi, I’ve got the same issue with the frustum error in WebGL, but I don’t get your solution.
My div with the canvas inside is set to "display: none" by jQuery. So how can I avoid that error anyway.

[FionNoir]

Ok, I’ve got a dirty solution for this issue in my case.
I’ve written a function in Unity to disable my main camera. So every time I’m hiding the container with the Unity WebGL (modal or dialogbox), I’m going to call the function do disable the main camera from JavaScript and the error disappears.
