high guys i just want to ask if the raise tool how far can it go over the limit i have seen many projects with high cliffs using the rise tool can some one help me?

My apologies, I don't really know what you mean with "over the limit".
In any case, in order to be able to make cliffs with the raise-tool, go to your Warcraft III-folder.
Create a new folder named "UI" (so it will be Warcraft III\UI) and create a text-file named "MiscData" inside that folder ("Warcraft III\UI\MiscData.txt").

Copy/paste this into that text-file:

When that is done, open the world editor and select the "Raise" tool.
Create a little hill.

Like this

Then select the "Plateau" tool and go over the hill. It should form very steep walls.

The walls

Using this method, you can actually create absurdly high walls

An example

I do hope this covered your question.

 

[Binsu]

Well, it has no limit. I have tried and you can even reach the upper most of the map by raising it.

Wow that's cool,i never knew how to do it and i am wondering how map makers do it.

When that is done, open the world editor and select the "Raise" tool.
Create a little hill.

Like this

Then select the "Plateau" tool and go over the hill. It should form very steep walls.

The walls

Using this method, you can actually create absurdly high walls

An example

I do hope this covered your question.

Thanks

Maximum raw height is 16383 and minimum raw height is 0. However the game generally thinks of the value around 8192 as the ground level and restricts you going far below that to prevent an in-game crash that occurs if a deformation drops below 0.

On top of this ground height there are 15 levels of cliff you can add to it.

Water (and targeting overlay) also has 16384 different levels. World Edit does not give you good control over these layers and often leaves hidden creation artefacts in them that can allow a map analyst to have an idea of how a map's terrain was created.
