TIPS
If you change the screen resolution during runtime then call FX_Bounds_Indicator.SetScale(); to adjust the bounds indicators to the new screen size.
The display style of the information display can be changed by editing the GUISkin located:
ForceX Bounds Indicator\Resources\Display_Skin —> edit Label settings.

@Schlumpfsack : I think the unity servers are having problems ATM i cant seam to download anything from the forums right now. Well the downloads will start but only go 8kbs, and then time out. Give it some time and see if things resolve them selves.
This update will allow you to set a min max size the bounds are allowed to be drawn on the screen. This means when an object gets really close to the camera that its bounding indicators will no longer fill the entire screen and look funny, but instead be limited to a max draw size set by you.
Set Limits - This will allow you to set a min and max screen size that the bounds corners are allowed to be drawn on the screen.
Tip : Because of the way the Bounds Indicators work, the system has a inherent min size that can be drawn. Set Limits will allow you to make this min size larger.
Notice : You will want to take into consideration the aspect ratio of your screen when setting Min Max sizes. A future update will handle this automatically.
Tip : If you change the screen resolution during runtime then call FX_Bounds_Indicator.SetScale(); to adjust the bounds indicators to the new screen size.
Reset Size. This is a inspector debug feature that will allow you to re adjust the bounds size to the screen if you are switching to and from a maximized game window.
Fixes:
Restored dynamic batching. For some reason one of the corners was not batching. This was creating +1 draw call for every object using the bounds indicator. This has been fixed. You should now be able to use the script on as many objects as you like and only have 1 draw call for the entire scene.
Hi ForceX this indicator system is awesome…is there a easy method to active/disactive the indicator on runtime?
I notice that if an target object becomes enabled the indicator is displayed…but if the target object returns disabled the indicator still remains visible.
Enabled toggle. You can enable or disable the bounds manually from the inspector by toggling the Enabled button or by calling FX_Bounds_Indicator.Enabled = true / false.
proximity range for targets detection ( and bounds indicator enabling)
a sounf fx when a new target become in range of detection
an optional indicator text( with some target infos…name…distance etc.)
edit: could be interesting develop a dinamic text visualization that switches dynamically between the images below … relatively to the indicator size (target distance).
Added option for basic object information display. This method uses a GUI label which can be edited to display any other information required. This version the Display Info is basically attached to the object and will follow it around the screen. If the Display Info goes off screen before the object does then it will snap to the opposite side of the object.
Tip
The display style of the information display can be changed by editing the GUISkin located:
ForceX Bounds Indicator\Resources\Display_Skin —> edit Label settings.
----1.1.5----
New Features
Added new Display options for the Information Display. These a fixed positions on the screen. With an option to draw an Indicator line to the object.
Updated Web Demo 1 to show the Information Display modes
