| | Hi Reimer and everyone else,
Is there a way of retrieving the height of the terrain at an object location.
So I can load objects at terrain level just based on the x, y co-ordinates.
This would also come in handy for creating my character walk at terrain level at all times no matter the shape of terrain.
Thanks in advance

| | Just a thought by why not just look at your heightmap?
would that not be the simplest option.
Assuming your heightmap data is in a float[,] ...
float heightAtPointX = heightMap[x,y];
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Or did i miss something? | |

| | | Your heightmap gives coordinates only for specific integer points, but the terrain itself is generated smooth, by some directx graphic functions. If You have 2 points: (1,1,1) and (2,2,2) and character is standing (1.5,y,1.5), y of terrain will not be exactly 1.5, because of points are not connected straight line, it is round curve, so you may have y=1.4 or y=1.7, depending on what height has neighbour points | |
