Terrain type

[Coug4r]

I've seen someone use some function to determine the terraintype at some point but i can't seem to find it anymore. It was something like

 

local pos = { x = pX, y = pY }

local alt = land.getHeight(pos)

 

local terrainType = someFunction(pX,pY,alt)

 

Does anyone know how to check for the terraintype at a certain position?

 

 

Thanks.

You are looking for land.getSurfaceType. It takes a single parameter, a vec2 (Lua table with x and y coordinate) and returns 1 for land, 2 for shallow water, 3 for deep water, 4 for roads and 5 for airports (tarmac, runways and taxiways).

Yes! Thank you!
