Problem

In the development of the Maple Wars project, there was initialy a need for diverse and customizable terrains. However, manually creating height variations on terrain objects proved to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, hindering the efficient creation of different map layouts.

Solution

To streamline the process of terrain creation, I developed a custom terrain tool using editor scripting. This editor window tool utilizes Perlin Noise, a popular algorithm for procedural generation, to generate height variations on terrain objects. By doing so, it enables the quick and efficient creation of diverse map layouts, enhancing the visual appeal and gameplay possibilities of the game.

how does it work?

The Terrain Tool seamlessly integrates into the Unity editor, offering a user-friendly interface for terrain creation. By utilizing Perlin Noise, users can generate realistic height variations on terrain objects. The tool provides adjustable parameters, allowing fine-tuning of the terrain variations. This tool empowered developers to efficiently create unique environments within the Maple Wars game in matter of seconds, enhancing the visual quality and gameplay experience.
