Question by TieSKey · Jan 06, 2013 at 02:44 AM · terrainruntimelayer

How to set the layer to a programatically generated terrain?

Hi,

I have a runtima generated terrain like t$$anonymous$$s:

 public enum Layer
     {
         Terrain = 1 << 8,
         Tower = 1 << 9,
         Enemy = 1 << 10,
         TowerBeingSet = 1 << 11,
         PathEnd = 1 << 12
     };




 t$$anonymous$$s.terrainData = new TerrainData ();


 // terrainData init //



 AssetDatabase.CreateAsset (terrainData, "Assets/New Terrain.asset");


 t$$anonymous$$s.terrainGameObject = Terrain.CreateTerrainGameObject (t$$anonymous$$s.terrainData);  





And then I try to set up the layer for it with:

 t$$anonymous$$s.terrainGameObject.layer = (int)Layer.Terrain;

             

 foreach (Transform trans in terrainGameObject.GetComponentsInC$$anonymous$$ldren<Transform>(true)) {

                 trans.gameObject.layer = (int)Layer.Terrain;

             }





But when I run the scene the terrain go has its layer set to "Default" and all events that depend on the layer obviously doesn't work.

So, what would be the right way to set a terrains layer?

Thx in advance.

Imagine you want to use Layer#07... Then replace

(int) Layer.Terrain

with

1 << 7

Hi, thx for the answer but as u can see on the edited post, the Layer.Terrain is actually what u re proposing.

oh, right... then give me a second to search from my sources... I should have done something like this.

Hum... that sounds me strange, but on the source code that i wrote some time ago, I didn't shift the terrain flag... And it worked, please try without shifting and tell me. :P

Well... using

LayerMask.NameToLayer ("Terrain");

Seems to work... odd... I use that enum for a lot of other things and it works fine :S

Using

LayerMask.NameToLayer ("Terrain");

instead of the s$$anonymous$$fted ints enum works fine.
