create hole in terrain -- pass through terrain/transparent terrain

empirebattles · March 20, 2019, 1:12am

I’m trying to figure out how to create a ‘hole’ in unity terrain, with the end result being a cave entrance.

The cave itself will be a mesh creation, but i want to be able to create a hole in the terrain to let the player pass to the mesh which would be positioned under the terrain, and also see through the terrain into the cave mesh beneath.

I’m not sure if this is possible at all… But i figure i’ll ask

Heres a script to how to make the player pass through the terrain:

MicroSplat Alpha Hole example

Also figured out how to enter the hole. Just add a trigger zone in front of your hole and add this code to a script and add the script to your trigger zone.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class EnterHole : MonoBehaviour {


		public Collider player;

However, the transparent part of the terrain is probably going to require another shader.
May I recommend the free Microsplat: MicroSplat | Terrain | Unity Asset Store

And it’s terrain hole plugin: MicroSplat - Terrain Holes | Terrain | Unity Asset Store
