Hi guys
Ive been working on a 3D version of a 2D tile map and using the terrain in riemers flightsim tutorial(link below) as a starting foundation. Ive modified the terrain to have multiple textures and I also added a car model on the terrain using a getheight method(code below)the last thing Im trying to figure out is how to recognize what set of tiles the car is colliding with(ex. 0 would be grass, 1 would be sand, etc,..) in order to use that info to create a dust or grass debris particle impact effect, if anyone could provide any advice it would be much appreciated.
Thankyou

The GETHEIGHT Method
public float GetExactHeightAt(float xCoord, float zCoord)
{
bool invalid = xCoord < 0;
invalid |= zCoord < 0;
invalid |= xCoord > floorPlan.GetLength(0) - 1;
invalid |= zCoord > floorPlan.GetLength(1) - 1;
if (invalid)
return 10;
int xLower = (int)xCoord;
int xHigher = xLower + 1;
float xRelative = (xCoord - xLower) / ((float)xHigher - (float)xLower);
int zLower = (int)zCoord;
int zHigher = zLower + 1;
float zRelative = (zCoord - zLower) / ((float)zHigher - (float)zLower);
float heightLxLz = floorPlan[xLower, zLower];
float heightLxHz = floorPlan[xLower, zHigher];
float heightHxLz = floorPlan[xHigher, zLower];
float heightHxHz = floorPlan[xHigher, zHigher];
bool cameraAboveLowerTriangle = (xRelative + zRelative < 1);
float finalHeight;
if (cameraAboveLowerTriangle)
{
finalHeight = heightLxLz;
finalHeight += zRelative * (heightLxHz - heightLxLz);
finalHeight += xRelative * (heightHxLz - heightLxLz);
}
else
{
finalHeight = heightHxHz;
finalHeight += (1.0f - zRelative) * (heightHxLz - heightHxHz);
finalHeight += (1.0f - xRelative) * (heightLxHz - heightHxHz);
}
return finalHeight;
}
What I have so far
protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
KeyboardState keyState = Keyboard.GetState();
if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Escape))
this.Exit(); // Exit with ESC key
float time = (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds;
float treshold = 0.0f;
float terrainHeight = GetExactHeightAt(hummer.Position.X, -hummer.Position.Z);
if (hummer.Position.Y < terrainHeight + treshold)
{
Vector3 newPos = hummer.Position;
newPos.Y = terrainHeight + treshold;
hummer.Position = newPos;
}
base.Update(gameTime);
}
portion modified so far
public void SetUpVertices()
{
int cityWidth = floorPlan.GetLength(0);
int cityLength = floorPlan.GetLength(1);
List<VertexPositionNormalTexture> verticesList = new List<VertexPositionNormalTexture>();
for (int x = 0; x < cityWidth; x++)
{
for (int z = 0; z < cityLength; z++)
{
int imagesInTexture = 11;
int imagesInTexture1 = 3;
if (floorPlan[x, z] == 0)
{
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x, 0, -z), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(0, 1)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x, 0, -z - 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(0, 0)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x + 1, 0, -z), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(1.0f / imagesInTexture, 1)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x, 0, -z - 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(0, 0)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x + 1, 0, -z - 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(1.0f / imagesInTexture, 0)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x + 1, 0, -z), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(1.0f / imagesInTexture, 1)));
}
if (floorPlan[x, z] == 1)
{
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x, 0, -z), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(0, 1)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x, 0, -z - 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(0, 0)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x + 1, 0, -z), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(1.0f / imagesInTexture1, 1)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x, 0, -z - 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(0, 0)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x + 1, 0, -z - 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(1.0f / imagesInTexture1, 0)));
verticesList.Add(new VertexPositionNormalTexture(new Vector3(x + 1, 0, -z), new Vector3(0, 1, 0), new Vector2(1.0f / imagesInTexture1, 1)));
}
}
}
cityVertexBuffer = new VertexBuffer(device, verticesList.Count * VertexPositionNormalTexture.SizeInBytes, BufferUsage.WriteOnly);
cityVertexBuffer.SetData<VertexPositionNormalTexture>(verticesList.ToArray());
}
and the initialize method
protected override void Initialize()
{
graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 500;
graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 500;
graphics.IsFullScreen = false;
graphics.ApplyChanges();

{1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1},

{1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1},
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1},
};
base.Initialize();
}
a visual example of what Im trying to do is in the youtube link below, in the video with each footstep taken the character emits
particles based from whatever texture is being impacted.
