<p> The terrain entity uses its triangle surfaces as clipping planes. No
|
|||
|
|
additional clipping is required to allow characters to run on the terrain<69>s
|
|||
|
|
surface. As the initial terrain maps developed in house, we discovered that to
|
|||
|
|
control and guide play flow, we needed to clip many of our mountain and canyon
|
|||
|
|
slopes with vertical walls. Done right (as the slopes start becoming too steep
|
|||
|
|
to climb), players don<6F>t notice (as much).</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p> Next, decide how far up in the sky you are willing to let your player<65>s
|
|||
|
|
fly. If the map is entirely open you might want to keep it that way. If you<6F>ve
|
|||
|
|
placed caulk barriers as described above, then the low point on the ridgeline
|
|||
|
|
(or lower) will likely be your ceiling height.</p>
