Hi, I need to deform my terrain.
It's big so I need to set terrain_chunk, but the problem is that terrain deforming is not working if terrain_chunk is set.
is there any possibility to deform the terrain also when terrain_chunk is set? Thank's for help

what???
it's possible. what funtion are you using???

Sorry....
But, as far as I know... Chunking and Deforming Terrain together does not work...
You could create smaller terrains that fit against each other, not use chunking and then get terrain deforming to work...

TerraSame you are wrong i use two terrains in my level the first is just a normal 250*250 terrain and i deform the second (250*250) with an hightmap and the hight of the first terrain...
ok 250*250 isnt bigger then 64000(the maximum), but it worked fine with 500*500,too.

but if you terrain is to big(ca. 60*60-500*500) i would do that what TerraSame says. but watch out - you can easyly run into nexus problems with this metod.


so if you only want to deform your terrain while loading/starting use one big terrain, but if you want to make realtime-deformations use much small terrains
xxxxxxx

hmm Now I can deform my chunked terrain.
In the manual it's written that this is not possible, but this is working...

ENTITY* ent_terrain;

function main()
{

terrain_chunk=8;

..... level_load
}
action a_terrain()
{
wait(1);
ent_terrain=my;
my.material = mtl_terraintex;
wait(100);

var i;
CONTACT* c;
for(i=0;i<ent_vertices(ent_terrain)*ent_vertices(ent_terrain);i++)
{

c = ent_getvertex(ent_terrain,NULL,i);
c.z += 50; // increase the vertex height
c.v = NULL; // c.x,y,z was changed, instead of c.v
ent_setvertex(ent_terrain,c,i); // update the mesh
wait(1);
}
}

Hey guys...
This is all quite perplexing... (Doing more research...)
In the past, from my research, terrian chunking and deforming would not work together.
I was not aware that this is now possible...

I see that under "deform" in the manual there is documentation that suggests that with C-Lite, it IS now possable.
From the manual under "ent_getvertex":
"Vertex manipulation on chunked terrain only supports square chunks."
And...
"For level geometry and chunked terrain, entity coordinates (c.x,y,z vector) are the same as world coordinates. "

This is all great news... I'm glad to see this topic... Thanks...

BTW...
My latest project has 400 terrains that are 97x97 verticies... thats a total of almost 4 million verticies... Although load time is a bit slow... I have NO nexus problem...
