Selection Outline

Give your players instant visual feedback - highlight characters, enemies, or items with an animated outline that pulses and fades with style.

Overview

Selection Outline is a URP Renderer Feature that draws an animated silhouette outline around any GameObject at runtime. Designed for combat systems, lock-on targeting, and interactive objects, works on both PC and Mobile.

• 3 built-in types : Character, Enemy, Item (each with its own color and HDR support)
• Adjustable outline color and width per type
• Smooth animation : Intro fade-in → Loop pulse → Outro fade-out
• One-click setup via Character Dashboard
• API-driven : call Select() and Deselect() from any script
• Supports Orthographic cameras

Setup

1.Open the Character Dashboard in the Inspector → choose a Selection Type (Character, Enemy, or Item)

2.Open Universal Renderer Data and find ZLZ Selection Outline → adjust color, width, and Animation Curves here

Scripting

Add using ZLZ.AnimeShader; and get a reference to ZLZ_SelectionController, then call:

// Animated (recommended) - plays Intro → Loop → Outro  
ctrl.Select();  
ctrl.Deselect();  
ctrl.ToggleSelection();  
  
// Check state  
bool active = ctrl.IsSelected();  

Example - highlight on click:

void OnMouseDown()  
{  
    GetComponent<ZLZ_SelectionController>().ToggleSelection();  
}

Example - highlight on lock-on:

void LockOn(GameObject target)  
{  
    target.GetComponent<ZLZ_SelectionController>()?.Select();  
}  
  
void Unlock(GameObject previous)  
{  
    previous.GetComponent<ZLZ_SelectionController>()?.Deselect();  
}
