I am making this island where I need a huge flat water terrain surface, I couldn’t really find a way to generate a flat water terrain without the terrain generator generating rock, sand and lava.
Is there any way I could generate a large, square water terrain with lines of code where it is possible to adjust the position and size of where I could generate it without generating the excess terrain? I’ve tried searching the developer forums but found no solutions so far.
Rather than using a generator to create the whole thing automatically, you could try doing it manually. Just use the “add” under terrain editor and adjust your view from the top. Then you could create a flat water surface.
It is definitely possible to generate areas of terrain via code. You would use Region3 to generate the terrain. Here is a page on the developers hub about this:
I’ve created islands before and one way to create a huge flat water terrain is to place a part and then proceed to resize it to your prefered size.
the part size limit is 2048X2048X2048 but if this isnt large enough for you can can copy said part and paste it and then go on to put all parts together which will increase the overall size of your sea.
Above work is one of my islands which I created with the help of FastCar48’s terrain plugin to create a massive endless water terrain ocean
I’d also recommend when constructing islands is to create a shallow sea, this will help you out when you’re adding terrain to your island which is quitte an annoying thing to do if your sea is very deep.
Instead of using code, you can use the Regions selection on the terrain editor. You can create blocks of terrain, move terrain, copy and paste selected parts of the terrain. It is a great method of making big block parts of the terrain.
To simply start to make terrain, click anywhere in Workspace and use the selectors like the Size tool to change the size of the region you would like new terrain in. Then press the fill option in the terrain editor and click water as the material.
Compiled Reply: @SigmaHD@xWil_l Thanks i’ve tried this method, but the region size in the terrain editor are limited. @waterrunner Thank you for giving me the Region3 resource to generate larger regional terrain. @goldencowboy Thank you for providing me with this plugin, I used it and it has been very beneficial to create large plains of terrain!
There is a easier way, no plugins, place a block of water, use the select tool in terrain, then select the box, and scale the water block to your needed sieze, I will add pictures later, I can’t now since I’m on mobile.
First parameter is a CFrame whose position is the center of the bounding box, second parameter is a Vector3 that is width, height, depth (x,y,z), and last is the material enum. If you want to visualize it, just place a block where you want the water and use the values from the block:
