Is this possible.

Ok, you are in a terrain, and let's say you go through a stargate on a planet. Can I change the terrain around the player instantly? I've tried re-building the terrain, but it locks up the system...

HELP!

Can you have two terrains in the same place, then just hide one and show the other?

What if you only show the terrain the player can see?

what you can do is :

use 2 terrains, but put them far away from eachother like
0,0,0 for the first
10000,0,0 for the second

once you "Jump" in the stargate you move your player to the other terrain, i think that is a simple solution.

Brilliant idea, sounds good! I love it!

I was thinking three dimensional, but not big enough.

Let you know how it goes.

One Problem though...

There is no command for positioning a terrain.

There also isn't a command for deleting a terrain.

Not sure where to go.

Oh well, I'll just work on what to do with one terrain for now.

a terrain is the same as object.
everything applied to a 3D object can be applied to a Terrain.

therefor:

dbPositionObject(terrainId,5000,0,0);
should work
