Changing terain height.

MrApples	I've asked about this before, and I know I have to use Terrain Deformation to do it, however after many tires I have not gotten this to work properly. How would I exactly change the cliff height of a cliff to -2 of its current cliff height in a single space(the mininum width/length a cliff can be)? Thanks in advance to anyone bored enough to help me.

Anitarf	I'm not sure you can, since deformations all take natural, circular forms - perhaps if you set the deformation size to something really small and place the deformation directly on the grid, then you could maybe get a pracise 1-grid-space deformation. 2 cliff height difference is 256, If I remember correctly.

You could try using the wave deformation. Though it has problems of it's own.

Trigger:

Environment - Create a 0.01 second wave deformation from (Center of (Entire map)) to ((Center of (Entire map)) offset by (0.00, 128.00)) with radius 128.00, depth 256.00, and a 3600.00 second trailing delay

You can't do permanent deformations so you'll need to do it again once the timer runs out and just like the crater deformation theres a slope form the center to the sides.

iNfraNe	Erm, you cant do permanent deformations because? Just use the crater and set it to permanent. TADA!

MrApples	Crater and Wave both do not work. it affects the land around the cliff, and the cliff is not removed, just becomes slanted some.

iNfraNe	Well, you cant change cliff levels, if thats what you're wanting to do.
