Cliff Help Should Be Simple

hey guys,

basically ive put that txt file in a UI folder in my wc3 directory, now how do u make those 85 or 90 degree cliff thingys? i just want to make smooth slope cliffs sorta, realistic ones, not looking like one brick stacked onto another,

i also have that WE editor but i cant work out how to do it on that either, i raise the ground, then i use plateau to smooth and connect them but it doesnt work.


any help>

im not sure what youre asking, but this should cover everyhting

sorry if tyhis is really nooby but it wont work!

when i raise terrain it raises as a cliff, and u cannot use plateau on it, ive read somewhere ur just ment to raise terrain and uncheck the cliff thing, but whenever i uncheck cliff it doesnt raise at all

cannot u take a screenshot of what tool ur using to riase terrain?

thanks


EDIT : also could someone plz tell me how to rotate a doodad? i have a model of a building i want to put in my map, but i want it rotated to a different side, is there anyway of doin this in the editor? or would i have to convert it to obj file, rotate it, then convert it somehow back to mdx?

u dont use raise CLIFF tool, u use raise TERRAIN tool............

rotation: hold ctrl and click, if it has odd (like not 4x4, or 8x8) pathing, set it to none.

If you want a more perfect rotation: just doulbeclick the doodad and set its rotation value.

well when i mean rotate maybe i meant flip or something, i know how to rotate it like that, but say i have a tree, i want to flip it to one side so its like lying down, so to speak. like im not sure how to say it,

read the topic 360 doodad turning.

You can do it like this:

1. For the doodad, set the Max Roll Angle at 10.00 or something.
2. Make a very steep cliff and place the tree (or other doodad on it). It will roll with the terrain (instead of having a half part flying over it, or having a half part inside it).
3. Select the tree and lower it with ctrl-page down until it is on the ground.
4. Make the raised terrain flat again. The tree is lying on the ground.

Are you sure that works? Open the map again, if you saved it, please.

Last time I did that (long time ago), I saved the map, but then when I opened it again, it reverted to it's old roll and height.

Hmm you are right. I didnt check that. It's just a graphical bug in the editor it seems.

well, not really a bug, seeing there is a "button" in the menu that resets all roll angles.
