Terrain

PreviousPage 2 of 4Next

Maybe the buttons in the game should be connected by a cable instead of inputs and outputs.

What happened now is that we invented the first neurological digging double chat room forum.

Ignore all these people. You can make nice terrain by opening the Face Edit tool and clicking on the flat ground, then switching to the "Displacement" tab and clicking "Create." Once the displacement is created it won't seal the map from leaks, so you need to add another brush under it. Then you can start using the Paint Geometry tool to manipulate your terrain.

Falsi sumus crusto!

Thanks I am am just reading this thinking how stupid it is when people start arguments like that!

Good to know. Arguments usually starts when someone gets insulted in this case.

If you yourself are not going to be giving good advice, then simply don't give any. Giving out "newbie information" is a terrible idea, because more often than not you perpetuate half-truths and partial solutions.

It's great that you want to help. Just make sure you're helping the best way that you really can.

I agree with you, but I really didn't know about displacements when I wrote this.

Then you shouldn't have posted in the first place. That's what I'm saying. Not providing any information at all is better than providing possibly bad information. Trust me, someone would have (and did) provide the correct solutions to the problem without you giving your "suggestion".

Well, I had no idea I was giving bad information.

But that's the problem. You're new and you don't know how to handle Hammer perfectly. And that's okay. Nobody is going to hate you because you're not an instant-pro. What's not okay is that you give bad information assuming that it's the perfect solution to a problem. You might think that you know a problem's solution but you should keep in mind that there might be better solutions that you don't know since you're new.

Wouldn't you be confused, if you needed advice on something and a beginner gave you some that is completely unreliable and that would cause problems?
