<p> The terrain entity uses its triangle surfaces as clipping planes. No
|
||
additional clipping is required to allow characters to run on the terrain’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’t notice (as much).</p>
|
||
<p> Next, decide how far up in the sky you are willing to let your player’s
|
||
fly. If the map is entirely open you might want to keep it that way. If you’ve
|
||
placed caulk barriers as described above, then the low point on the ridgeline
|
||
(or lower) will likely be your ceiling height.</p>
