Environment trigger help

[ShadowBladeX]

I have problems with this trigger in the change tile part I choose cityscape tiled cliff but when in-game it does't show the cliff.

 

[Dr Super Good]

What trigger?

Cliffs and terrain types are completely unrelated. The cliff mesh always overwrites any terrain tiles at the affected vertex and cliffs types cannot be modified with triggers.

Terrain types can be modified with triggers, however the 16 tile limit still applies. Triggers can dynamically load tile types if not at the 16 tile limit but once a tile type is loaded it cannot ever be unloaded.

English please. What I mean was if I would want to make a world with 3 different cliffs (dirt grass and a cityscape cliff) what would I do to do that?

 

[Dr Super Good]

English please.

According to a spell checker all the words I wrote were in English. I am pretty sure all the words are inside the Oxford Dictionary. Well maybe I misspelt a few, I suck as spelling...

what would I do to do that?

You could try hiding the terrain and then using custom doodad models.

Modifying the ".w3e" binary file directly can allow up to 2^32 cliff types, however only the first 16 can be referenced by terrain nodes and only the first 2 textures and meshes will load (all others will glitch randomly with correct blending but wrong meshes).

The cliffs only, example when I will make a new map and my tileset is lordareon summer and the cliffs are dirt and grass now I will use environment change the center of the map to cityscape tiled walls but unfortunately it only shows the tile above but doesn't show the cliff

Yes that is because...

Cliffs and terrain types are completely unrelated. The cliff mesh always overwrites any terrain tiles at the affected vertex and cliffs types cannot be modified with triggers.

One can declare more than 2 cliff types in a map, but only the first two will function correctly. Cliff type and terrain type are unrelated mechanically, with the only relationship being forced by slk files which force a terrain tile type to be included along with a cliff tile type. Interesting mechanics is that this relationship occurs implicitly before the custom tile pallet is loaded meaning one can save 8 bytes or so by not declaring the terrain type attached to the cliffs.

Now I understand but is there any way to change skins of the cliff ex. Grass cliff changed to tiled cliff?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Try replacing the textures they use with imports. This will not work if the textures get preloaded before map initialization (eg, Necropolis cannot be replaced).

I used a skin trimed grass cliff but when I place a grass cliff it looks looks like a cliff with tiled sides how to fix that

 

[Dr Super Good]

Not entirely sure, sorry.

When I load a grass cliff with a tiled wall for example it doesn't look square instead it looks like a cliff with the textures color but the same cliff shape is there any way to make it square
