Getting terrain block with mega terrain

by Guy Allard · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 05/02/2008 (6:04 am) · 2 replies

Using megaterrains, the world contains multiple terrain blocks. Is there a quick way, given an (x,y) coordinate to find out which of the terrain blocks that point is contained in?

There is nothing currently exposed to the scripts for that but you can see how it would be done in TerrainEditor::getTerrainUnderWorldPoint().
