Help adding procedural generation where the player generates chunks

[thin cape]

where does it get the chunks though

and how do I make it generate forever

[trail wasp]

have you installed infinite terrain ?

[thin cape]

yeah

[trail wasp]

when you press settup

you will find 2 scripts

one script keeps track of what chunks to load and unload

and the other is the actor that loads and unloads the terrain

[thin cape]

so where do I put the generation

[trail wasp]

that does not make sense to me

[thin cape]

I meant what script do I put it in

[trail wasp]

you dont put no script in it

you read the code and work out how it works

then try to make your own version of it

[thin cape]

how do I put my generation into it though

[trail wasp]

i dont know what your generation is

[thin cape]

look at the first thing I sent

Here

[trail wasp]

you can delete that and make a new one

where did you find that script from?

[thin cape]

but its 3d noise does the infinite terrain support that?

[thin cape]

I made some of it

I followed tutorial

[trail wasp]

ok because its using depreciated things

its a little out of date

[thin cape]

I got it from 3 year old tutorial lol

wait does infinite terrain support 3d noise?

[trail wasp]

if i give you a task can you try and do it

[thin cape]

yeah but does infinite terrain support 3d noise

because that’s what I’m trying to do

[trail wasp]

it does not mater what infinite terrain supports

i want you to use
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Terrain#WriteVoxels

to write 64x64x64 voxels of sand

once you done that ill tell you the next step

[thin cape]

ok

[thin cape]

ok I finished the cube thing

-- Create a function to generate a single cube
local function createCube(x, y, z)
local cube = Instance.new("Part")
cube.Size = Vector3.new(3, 3, 3) -- Set cube size to 3x3x3
cube.Position = Vector3.new(x, y, z) -- Set cube position directly
cube.Anchored = true
cube.Parent = workspace
return cube
end

-- Create a function to generate the big cube
local function createBigCube()

for x = 0, 63, 3 do
    for y = 0, 65, 3 do
        for z = 0, 63, 3 do
            local cube = createCube(x, y, z)
            cube.Parent = workspace
            workspace.Terrain:FillBlock(cube.CFrame, Vector3.new(3,3,3), Enum.Material.Sand)
            cube:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

end

-- Call the createBigCube function to generate the big cube
createBigCube()

[trail wasp]

no

[thin cape]

what

[trail wasp]

thats not what i asked

[thin cape]

what did you ask its 64x64x64 voxels of sand right?

[trail wasp]

no

[thin cape]

wdym

[trail wasp]

i want you to use WriteVoxels

[thin cape]

wait so you want me to make the terrain but without the part?

[trail wasp]

i want you to use WriteVoxels and write 64 x 64 x 64 of sand

[thin cape]

what does writing mean does it mean saving it to somewhere?

[trail wasp]

the world if fullof air voxels

and you have to change them to sand

[thin cape]

wait what Im confused

[trail wasp]

use WriteVoxels to make some sand terrain

so simple

[thin cape]

oh thats what you mean

i think I got something working:
xArrayMax=64
yArrayMax=64
zArrayMax=64

xVoxelMax=xArrayMax4
yVoxelMax=yArrayMax4
zVoxelMax=zArrayMax*4

Material = Enum.Material.Sand
AreaMaterial={}
AreaOccupancy={}

for x=1,xArrayMax,1 do
AreaMaterial[x]={}
AreaOccupancy[x]={}
for y=1,yArrayMax,1 do
AreaMaterial[x][y]={}
AreaOccupancy[x][y]={}
for z=1,zArrayMax,1 do
AreaMaterial[x][y][z]=Material
AreaOccupancy[x][y][z]=1
end
end
end

workspace.Terrain:WriteVoxels(Region3.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),Vector3.new(xVoxelMax,yVoxelMax,zVoxelMax)),4,AreaMaterial,AreaOccupancy)

[trail wasp]

send me a image of the result

[trail wasp]

good job

now i want you use a function

and i want the function to take a X and Z position

and you will offset the terrain based on the X and Z position

[thin cape]

like wdym

you mean changing the terrains position?

[trail wasp]

local function LoadChunk(x, z)
    -- load a 16x64x16 chunk of sand like you did above using the X and Z number
end

LoadChunk(0, 0)
LoadChunk(0, 1)
LoadChunk(0, 1)
LoadChunk(1, 0)
LoadChunk(1, 0)

[thin cape]

do I just paste the write voxels thing into that?

[trail wasp]

almost

you need to shift the Region3

[thin cape]

how do I do that

[trail wasp]

you should end up with 5 chunks loaded like this

[trail wasp]

--offset the 0, 0, 0 and xVoxelMax,yVoxelMax,zVoxelMax
workspace.Terrain:WriteVoxels(Region3.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),Vector3.new(xVoxelMax,yVoxelMax,zVoxelMax)),4,AreaMaterial,AreaOccupancy)

[thin cape]

do I just paste both scripts into the other script

[trail wasp]

xArrayMax=64
yArrayMax=64
zArrayMax=64

xVoxelMax=xArrayMax4
yVoxelMax=yArrayMax4
zVoxelMax=zArrayMax*4

Material = Enum.Material.Sand
AreaMaterial={}
AreaOccupancy={}

for x=1,xArrayMax,1 do 
    AreaMaterial[x]={}
    AreaOccupancy[x]={}
    for y=1,yArrayMax,1 do 
        AreaMaterial[x][y]={}
        AreaOccupancy[x][y]={}
        for z=1,zArrayMax,1 do 
            AreaMaterial[x][y][z]=Material
            AreaOccupancy[x][y][z]=1
        end
    end
end

workspace.Terrain:WriteVoxels(Region3.new(Vector3.new(0,0,0),Vector3.new(xVoxelMax,yVoxelMax,zVoxelMax)),4,AreaMaterial,AreaOccupancy)

[thin cape]

oh

[trail wasp]

this code you sent makes a 64 by 64 by 64 block of sand

i want you to make 5 blocks of sand

using a function

[thin cape]

ok

[trail wasp]

like this

local function LoadChunk(x, z)
    -- load a 16x64x16 chunk of sand like you did above using the X and Z number
end

LoadChunk(0, 0)
LoadChunk(0, 1)
LoadChunk(0, 1)
LoadChunk(1, 0)
LoadChunk(1, 0)

[thin cape]

i was making it rip

[trail wasp]

does it work

local terrain = workspace:WaitForChild("Terrain")
local chunkSize = 16
local chunkHeight = 4
local regionSize = chunkSize * 4
local regionHeight = chunkHeight * 4


local materials, occupancies = {}, {}
for x = 1, chunkSize do
    materials[x], occupancies[x] = {}, {}
    for y = 1, chunkHeight do
        materials[x][y], occupancies[x][y] = {}, {}
    end
end

local function LoadChunk(x, z)
    for x = 1, chunkSize do
        for y = 1, chunkHeight do
            for z = 1, chunkSize do
                materials[x][y][z] = Enum.Material.Sand
                occupancies[x][y][z] = 1
            end
        end
    end
    terrain:WriteVoxels(Region3.new(Vector3.new(x * regionSize, 0, z * regionSize), Vector3.new(x * regionSize + regionSize, regionHeight, z * regionSize + regionSize)), 4, materials, occupancies)
end

LoadChunk(0, 0)
LoadChunk(0, -1)
LoadChunk(0, 1)
LoadChunk(-1, 0)
LoadChunk(1, 0)

this is my version

[thin cape]

it doesent work for some reason

[trail wasp]

my version works

[thin cape]

oh you want to continue with your version?

[trail wasp]

no

i want you to learn how to do it

[thin cape]

ok

[trail wasp]

read my version but make your own version

[thin cape]

yeah opk

[trail wasp]

dont copy and paste my version

[thin cape]

ok lol

ok i think i got it working but its weird

[trail wasp]

most likely your not using the character position correctly

ok next thing i want you to do is

make a unload function

[thin cape]

ok can I see a example again?

[trail wasp]

and in that function you will set Material to Air and occupancies to 0

local terrain = workspace:WaitForChild("Terrain")
local chunkSize = 16
local chunkHeight = 4
local regionSize = chunkSize * 4
local regionHeight = chunkHeight * 4


local materials, occupancies = {}, {}
for x = 1, chunkSize do
    materials[x], occupancies[x] = {}, {}
    for y = 1, chunkHeight do
        materials[x][y], occupancies[x][y] = {}, {}
    end
end

local function LoadChunk(x, z)
    for x = 1, chunkSize do
        for y = 1, chunkHeight do
            for z = 1, chunkSize do
                materials[x][y][z] = Enum.Material.Sand
                occupancies[x][y][z] = 1
            end
        end
    end
    terrain:WriteVoxels(Region3.new(Vector3.new(x * regionSize, 0, z * regionSize), Vector3.new(x * regionSize + regionSize, regionHeight, z * regionSize + regionSize)), 4, materials, occupancies)
end

-- ADD this function that sets to air and 0
local function UnloadChunk(x, z)
    terrain:WriteVoxels(Region3.new(Vector3.new(x * regionSize, 0, z * regionSize), Vector3.new(x * regionSize + regionSize, regionHeight, z * regionSize + regionSize)), 4, materials, occupancies)
end

LoadChunk(0, 0)
LoadChunk(0, -1)
LoadChunk(0, 1)
LoadChunk(-1, 0)
LoadChunk(1, 0)

[thin cape]

ok i got it kind of working but its not loading chunks

I think it was because of the player position problem that you said

how do I fix that

[trail wasp]

i have finished my version

[thin cape]

ok

[trail wasp]

here is my version

#1138568528056823999 message

here is a download

[thin cape]

I cant figure it out rip

can we move on or should I figure it out

[trail wasp]

well iv given you the hole project now so

[thin cape]

oh

but how will I add 3d perlin noise though

[trail wasp]

you already did that before

[thin cape]

ik

how do I add it to the project

[trail wasp]

step 1 understand the current code

[thin cape]

ok lo;

[trail wasp]

its kinda simple

[thin cape]

Ok I will try but I might come back to this help channel

[trail wasp]

ok

[thin cape]

yo suphi I need help

@trail wasp I worked on the script a little and its not making cliffs but it seems to have some perlin noise heres the script:

[trail wasp]

Im not free for a few days

[thin cape]

can you help me though?

[trail wasp]

Good night

[thin cape]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[thin cape]

how long until ur free?
