New to Unity - Need help.

Unity Engine
1

So, I have a bit of beginner language skills in Java. Not Javascript, Java.

I have transferred to C# as it has a similar syntax to Java.

From the code I have seen, it looks pretty good.

Anyway - Using the general terrain tools in Unity, I would like to create blocks underneath the terrain.
The whole idea for this is that:
The blocks will be the same size
As many blocks as possible will be fit UNDER the terrain.
The blocks will NOT be visible, unless the ground ABOVE is dug.

My reason being for this is to enable a good building system, I would need a FLAT piece of land.
So they would dig the dirt ontop until they see the stone-like blocks underneath.
On here they can build.

Any ideas on how to get the whole block idea going? Cause they would have to be rendered under the terrain (or as an additional terrain?)

Thanks,

Zed.

Maybe just put a single plane under it with a tiled texture? You can get the size from the terrain using terrainData.

As I said, new to Unity, I noticed that in gameObjects but I don’t understand what it is. Would you mind explaining?

Another thing is: The Terrain is a certain height, if I wanted to allow mining would I script a way for a whole sort of underground to be made when they enter the game or would I have to inrease the actual size of the terrain?

Still completely new to this :confused: I basically want to make a voxel based game. That’s the whole thing. Voxel-Based…

Any ideas on that one instead?

If you want to make a voxel based game similar to Minecraft there is a huge thread about the subject here…

If you are new to coding it may be a bit over your head. I would advise to learn some basics first before tackling something like this.

Not like Minecraft.

I still want curves: just not in the way that everything is literal blocks.

A similar game to the whole idea of shapes that I mean is:

Check out that.

However I want to make a Zombie Game. :slight_smile:

Once I have the whole rendering and whatnot done it should be easier.
