tool mode drawing lines on viewport

+1 vote

Hello!
Can I draw some debug 2d lines on top of viewport in editor, using tool mode?
How can I do that?

I have button turning editing mode for some change in my scene, I would like to draw red border in viewport (3d mode in editor) for indicating this process and remove it when "edit mode" is turned off.

Best!

I usually achieve this in my main 'CanvasItem' using a 'drawline()' function. I have a bool 'isdebug_on' which toggles with button presses, and if it's true I jus call some draw code in the 'draw()' method of the canvas item.

But this method is working when game is played? I'm looking for something working inside editor or maybe I don't know how to set-up that? :P

Yes, it only works in the game, not the editor.

You can use tool mode to draw things in editor.
