[JASS] Possible to create terrain 'walls' ingame?

[Vex]

Hi.

I'm making a random dungeon generator using the 'Environment - Create Terrain Deformation: Crater' function to simulate hallways and rooms by lowering the terrain. When lowering the terrain in an area, the adjacent terrain will 'lean' downwards so to speak. That is my 'walls'. The only problem is that I want the angle between the floor area and wall parts to be 90 degrees. I have divided the map in squares that are 128x128 points each. One square is either a floor, wall (with 1-8 adjacent floor squares) or just a normal dirt square (no adjacent floor squares).

This is how it looks now: \___/ while I want it to look like this: |____|

I know you can use destructibles/doodads/special effects to solve this, but I'm planning to 'rough up' the dungeon to make walls, floors etc. look less symmetrical (minor random raise/lower terrain here and there). A solution w/out objects will be a lot easier to handle as well (if not there will be a gadzillion objects just for walls).

It is possible to make terrain have 90 degree angles when raising/lowering in editors, just don't know how to make it in game :/

Thanks for any replies.

Impossiable to make vertical terane via triggers.

You can make very steep terane but if it was verticle, the gradient would be undifined which honestly I can not see the WC3 terane system handeling.

Hmm, good point. Forgot that the pretty wall textures will be not so pretty when stretched if it would work at all :S

Seems like it will be doodads or special effects with pathing blockers for walls then.

Thanks for reply

Im not sure if this helps but there is a world editor mod that lets you change WE limits, heres a link. The Unofficial Warcraft III Forums - View Single Post - 90 Degree Plateus and cliffs? Gimme Gimme Gimme

Still is not 90°.

Alternative? Forget the crater deformations and use wave instead. By using a thin wave deformation you can create walls (with no waves of course). Same theory as crater deformations, every 128x128 point area can have a wall or not. One last thought, there already is a random maze generator at http://www.wc3campaigns.net. If you change it to use deformations instead of doodads that might be faster? Unless you've ready made the system.

Thanks for the info people. I think I have enough to work on and test now
