perlin noise

[merry tapir]

im just not sure how to do perlin noise and all the articles i find are math i dont understand lol

[wheat ether]

lol thats my hexagon script

very nice

[merry tapir]

not quite, i got it sent by Alek in a help thread yesterday
i dont know if its just based off yours or if this is just kinda >>the way<< to do it tho

[wheat ether]

ah i see, its just because those are exactly the variable and function names i use

and the logic is almost exactly the same for the loop

exact same size and the use of hardcoded numbers

the tileHeight * 0.75 is the same workaround i used too

yeah im like 90% sure that its based off mine

[merry tapir]

yeah i can see that

[wheat ether]

looks like

[merry tapir]

for the math.noise?

[wheat ether]

yeah thats what docs say

[merry tapir]

tysm!!

[wheat ether]

epic

that looks cool

[wheat ether]

seeing a problem though...

you are creating 2 hexagons for every tile without using both

so you have double the instances

even though half of those arent parented

[merry tapir]

oh, where is that happening
