Threshold Gradient Modifier Component

The Threshold Gradient Modifier component applies a threshold value to an input gradient to generate an output gradient that has only two values. Input gradient values above the threshold are set to 1 and input values at or below the threshold are set to 0.

PropertyDescriptionValuesDefault
PreviewDisplays the output gradient of this component after all properties are applied.
Pin Preview to ShapeSets an entity with a compatible Shape component to use as the bounds of the preview if Constrain to Shape is Enabled.EntityIdCurrent Entity
Preview PositionSets the world location of the preview.

This field is available only if there is no entity selected in Pin Preview to Shape.
Vector3: -Infinity to InfinityX:0.0, Y:0.0, Z:0.0
Preview SizeSets the dimensions of the preview.Vector3: 0.0 to InfinityX:1.0, Y:1.0, Z:1.0
Constrain to ShapeIf Enabled, the gradient preview uses the bounds of the entity selected in Pin Preview to Shape.

This field is available only if an entity is selected in Pin Preview to Shape.
BooleanDisabled
ThresholdSets the value of the threshold. If an input gradient’s value is less than or equal to the threshold value, it is set to 0.0. Input gradient values above the threshold are evaluated as 1.0.Float: 0.0 - 1.00.5
