 This is an effect type behavior and starts out invisible. Use setVisible() to switch the outline on and off. Typically this is done in response to game events or by other behaviors managing outline parameters. This is an effect type behavior and starts out invisible.

-Multiple instances of ECBehaviorOutline can be used for example to create different outlines to switch on and off or to add multiple outline skins to a single ECBehaviorComponent. Keep in mind though that each instance of ECBehaviorOutline creates a new component and dynamic skin resource which can impact performance if the used model has high polygon count. To use multiple instances use code like this in your subclass constructor: +Multiple instances of ECBehaviorOutline can be used for example to create different outlines to switch on and off or to add multiple outline skins to a single ECBehaviorComponent.

 +====== Use Cases ====== 
 + 
 +  * Highlight objects player can interact with. Combine this with [[behavior_lookedat|ECBehaviorLookedAt]] using a listening to show/hide the highlight if the player looks at the object. 
 +  * Use for Toon-Rendering to draw a black outline on all objects.

 +====== Element Class Example ====== 
 + 
 +<code>

 +   public var ECBehaviorComponent component 
 +   public var ECBehaviorCollider collider 
 +   public var ECBehaviorOutline outline 
 +    
 +   public func new() super("ExampleElement")

 +====== Behavior Factory ======

 +<elementClass name='MyClass' class='GenericBehaviorElement'> 
 +  <behavior type='ECBehaviorComponent'/> 
 +  <behavior type='ECBehaviorCollider'/>

 +  <behavior type='ECBehaviorOutline'> 
 +    <!-- optional: use component with id instead of empty string --> 
 +    <string name='component'>second</string> 
 +     
 +    <!-- set element properties. omit property prefix if used inside behavior tag --> 
 +    <string name='.model'>outline.demodel</string> 
 +  </behavior> 
 +   
 +  <!-- for adding multiple behaviors use unique identifiers --> 
 +  <behavior type='ECBehaviorOutline' id='second'/> 
 +</elementClass>
