Player Proximity Invisibility
To use this shader create a global shader in project settings, name it “player_pos” and set it to type vec3. Update the global shader to the player’s position every frame.
If using 3.x change MODEL_MATRIX to WORLD_MATRIX.
This shader will turn objects far away from the player invisible.
Shader code
shader_type spatial;
uniform vec4 _color : source_color;
uniform float sphere_size = 3.0;
global uniform vec3 player_pos;
varying vec3 world_vertex;
void vertex ()
{
world_vertex = (MODEL_MATRIX * vec4(VERTEX, 1.0)).xyz;
}
void fragment() {
float min_dist = min(length(player_pos - world_vertex), sphere_size);
ALBEDO = _color.rgb;
ALPHA = clamp(sphere_size - min_dist, 0.0, 1.0);
//ALPHA_SCISSOR_THRESHOLD = 0.5;
}
