The title says it all.

The Unity LineRenderer is pretty limited in functionality. It used to be awful, completely unusable, but it got a few useful updates in 2018. But it still has a ton of weird things like what you’re seeing.

For general vector line rendering stuff you probably want to reach for something like Vectrosity on the asset store:

Or else just cut your own meshes procedurally. If you wanna tinker with procedural meshes, you’re welcome to sniff around my MakeGeo project for some example code:

Thanks for commenting. There are few things I want to add:

  1. Are you sure this weird behaviour is caused by the Line Renderer itself and not it’s settings or a bug in my code?
  2. I am doing this project for fun, so I can’t afford to spend any money. If you know any free components that does the same job of Vectrosity, please tell me.
  3. Thanks for sharing your MakeGeo project, I actually thought of making meshes like you did until I found about TrailRenderer then LineRenderer(don’t ask why I didn’t know about them despite using Unity for 3 years). If I can’t make it to work, then I probably will use your MakeGeo.
