Just wanted to know how you got the long grass in the Bridge Battle map. I can see you just painted grass however it is really long and I am trying to add the same in one of my maps.

When in Editor with your level open (top down view)...

Hit test run to run your game so you are in your 3D game.....

Then Hit Tab key twice to bring up your game settings and slider controls. You will see controls and settings in there for many things - including controlling your grass height, width, density and so on.

Make your changes and use Esc key to close settings and controls.

Note : When changing Grass (veg) settings via sliders please be patient as GG will take a short while while it recomputes things.

Hope that helps.

Few things to do, to create long grass.

if you load the veg.x in a 3d model editor you can edit the model to make it taller and export and replace the veg.x model again and will have taller grass by default.

If you don't want all that hassle, of manually increasing the height if the default isn't high enough, while in test game press the tab key, you will see a lot of menu's pop up the middle one is what should interest you where the sliders say veg height and veg width, sliding it to your right will increase the size and width and sliding it to your left will decrease size and width, this should allow you to create nice tall grass as seen in that map.

Thanks for that, just added some long grass to a map I am working on. Currently have it in the lobby for multiplayer if anyone wants to jump in and test with me. Map is setup for 4 players or more. Just testing at the moment to make sure everything runs smooth.

I am looking to make a few different maps for a multi player tournament. This map is the first level.
