Terrain

[MadCat]

Hi All

Is a way of making a hole in the terrain?

To make a cave or tunel

No, you will need to use regular model for that.

So how can you make a something like a sewer under a city?

either two separate maps or like Genebris said to make your entire map in something like blender then import it as an object.

 

If you must use the leadwerks terrain then you could do something like having the terrain and city on top then when the player gets to a sewer man hole it teleports him to another part of the map or under it into the sewer.

I have quickly tried to edit terrain shader and realized you can actually cutout fragments depending on texture color to make a visual "hole". If you also add a trigger that toggles player collision with terrain, you will actually be able to do this, but in a messy way.

 

 

I have added this to the end of terrain shader:

if (outcolor.x==1)
discard;

I barely have any idea of what I did because I know nothing about shaders, but I meant to remove red fragments from terrain and it worked.

Add trigger that does this and you can walk through.

Collision:SetResponse(Collision.Character, Collision.Scene, Collision.None)

Very creative genebris.

Thanks

I'll give it a try
