How do you make terrain go straight up?

[robofish]

Is it possible to make terrain go straight up like without making layers of new terrain below the top one? If there is how do you do it? Thanks for the help, and i hope someone answers this.

You mean so it's dirt, then it's rough dirt two stories above? Make a model and use platforms.

Oh no, I mean if I increase the terrain height when I get high enough a new layer of terrain is made just below my highest point. It forms like a pyramid. Im wondering if it is possible to make it so that the pyramid affect doesn't happen and the terrain height increase just forms straight up like a wall.

Don't use cliffs...? Just download the miscdata.txt that's stickied in this forum and use the raise tool/plateau.

The only way how you could do it is using WEU? Or does miscdata also automaticly do this? Dunno... try miscdata and WEU both. I can garuantee that WEU will make everything raised go straigth up (Maybe its a bug ^^)

Miscdata works fine...

I think you're all missing the point. He wants to use Blizzard cliffs. Unfortunely there is no way to go raise a cliff more than 2 levels at a time, continually raising a cliff will cause the editor to form additional levels around the cliff. There's no practical way around this.

I've seen that being bypassed in a map, i think who ever did this changed the cliff height a lot. If you need only walls, just change cliff height, else try making wall models.

Screens or it didn't happen, Volvox.

Anyway, DungeonM answered, for me this topic is solved...

Use doodads that look like cliffs and then just raise the terrain behind them?

In Laosh'ra's chess(great map, i love it), when you pick a race, the plaetau where races stand is on such tall cliff wall. Google the map and see for yourself.

Using the raise terrain and plateau tool works just fine for me. Thanks for the help void.
