Landscape Transformer
Dungeon Architect supports non-destructive landscape transformations around the generated dungeon
To see this in action, clone the Landscape transformer sample from the launchpad
You can build your dungeons on top of an existing landscape that has painted textures and foliage
The heightfield, paint and foliage around the dungeon would be modified
This is non destructive, so when you destroy your dungeon, the original landscape data (height, paint, foliage etc) in that area is restored
Right now, the Grid Builder and City builder support landscape transformations
Setup Landscape Transformer
To add support for landscape transformations, perform the following,
Move your dungeon game object to the location where you'd like to build your dungeon
Add the
LandscapeTransformerGridor theLandscapeTransformerCitycomponent to your dungeon game object, depending on the builder
This script requires the terrain game object reference so it can modify it.
To support non-destructive landscape modification, Dungeon Architect needs to save the state of the landscape in the area where it modifies it, so that it can restore it later on (when the dungeon is destroyed or modified)
Create a landscape restoration cache asset
Assign this to the Lanscape Transformer script
Assign the Elevation curves so we have a smooth transition from the existing terrain to the dungeon
Click on blank area to open up the curve editor. Choose one of the values highlighted below
Close the curve editor
Do the same for Corridor Elevation Curves
Build the dungeon
Destroy the dungeon to restore the terrain back
Setup Paint Support
You may paint your terrain around the rooms, corridor and cliffs by applying your existing terrain layers. Since you already have a terrain, you would have setup terrain layers to paint your terrain. If not, find more info about Terrain Layers here. We'll paint the rooms with a certain terrain layer
Create a new Texture entry and add an existing Terrain Layer
Set the Texture Type to Room or Corridor.
Set the Road Blur Distance to 1
Now build your dungeon
Add a corridor texture
