I currently parse the terrain at level-load time, on the server, to generate the node information.Each node will be on position on each vertex on terrain. All I nead is to make new class for example class node and take informations from terren vertexs x y , height and normal.but I am not shure from where to get thet informations.

terrData.cc i think but what is the best way to do thet and am I on god way.


Thanks

#3 Please any idea can help me a lot

Thanks

#4 I'm trying to get the server to send terrain data over to the client to generate the terrain on-the-fly. Sounds simple in theory, as it would just be a heightmap (at first), but I'm sure it won't be that easy. So if that's what you're looking to do, at least know someone else it trying to do it as well.

#5 This is the function how you can take height from terrain

in the function you have to send the 2d postion (x,y) of point on terrain and function returns the height

F32 rtsNode::getTerrHeight(Point2F num)
{
Point2F pos;
F32 height = 0.0f;
pos=num;

TerrainBlock * terrain = dynamic_cast(Sim::findObject("Terrain"));
if(terrain)
if(terrain->isServerObject())
{
Point3F offset;
terrain->getTransform().getColumn(3, &offset);
pos -= Point2F(offset.x, offset.y);
terrain->getHeight(pos, &height);
}
return height;
}

just put this function in your class and use it

include terrData.h
