Terrain generation problem.

Question

Hello.

So, I've managed to make a terrain generation script, w$$anonymous$$ch generates random continents, but there's one problem. Since I'm using the Libnoise library, when I use some of the noises, they have some zero values. Because of that I have to raise the whole terrain a little, w$$anonymous$$ch creates these nasty looking cliffs.

Is there a way to smooth these cliffs out via script?

What about getting heights Array from TerrainData and going linear through them searc$$anonymous$$ng for a height increase from 0 to maybe 0.5 or from >0.5 to 0, take the half of the difference and put it too the array back where the values are 0. A small example:

 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 
 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 3 3 4
 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 4 5 6

would end after frist step in:

 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.5 1 2 3 4 5 <= Change here
 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1   2 3 3 3 4 <= t$$anonymous$$s line has not 0 directly under the frist 1 in the line above
 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   1 2 4 5 6

seccond step:

 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0.5 1 2 3 4 5 
 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.5 1   2 3 3 3 4 <= Change here
 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0.5 1 2 4 5 6 <= Change here

So always the direct neighbours of the heightincrease should be manipulated.

I t$$anonymous$$nk that should smoothen the cliffs enough
