QcTerrainColumn Struct

Member Variable Documentation

int QcTerrainColumn::biome

Index of the column's biome in QcTerrainDefinitions::biomes.

double QcTerrainColumn::exactHeight

The height before rounding, as column() computed it; where something moved the column since (it no longer rounds to height), height counts.

int QcTerrainColumn::groundBiome

The biome whose ground blocks the column takes (decision E-858): near a biome border the one a few jittered blocks away, so the ground mixes; -1 for biome itself, unresolvedGround while not looked up.

int QcTerrainColumn::height

Height of the terrain surface: the top solid block is at height - 1.

int QcTerrainColumn::landBiome

The biome of the climate alone, before a river channel takes its river biome.

double QcTerrainColumn::landFactor

0 = ocean, 1 = land; values in between are coasts.

double QcTerrainColumn::overhang

Overhang amplitude in blocks, blended across biome borders (0: plain column).

bool QcTerrainColumn::riverBank

Dry ground at the water's edge of a river (decision E-840): the river biome's beach in patches. The water of a river channel has the river biome as biome.

double QcTerrainColumn::riverNearDistance

Blocks from the middle line of that river, estimated without the steep growth of riverDistance where the river noise flattens (QcRiverField::Sample::nearDistance); 1e9 where riverDistance is.

double QcTerrainColumn::riverNearHalfWidth

Half the width of that river's water as the freezing ramp reads it (QcRiverField::Sample::nearHalfWidth).

int QcTerrainColumn::slope

Largest height difference to the four neighbouring columns; set where it is needed (generate(), surfaceBlockAt()), else 0.

double QcTerrainColumn::temperature

The climate's temperature at the column in [0, 1]: the top water layer freezes by it.

const int QcTerrainColumn::unresolvedGround

Marks a column near a biome border whose ground biome is not looked up yet (QcTerrainGenerator::withGround() does).
