Got some problems with Perlin Noise.

I'm trying to create a biome system in my procedural generation, but the perlin noise doesn't work for me.
Every time I try the code the Perlin noise returns the number 0.4652731.

I've read a bit about this problem And it only seems to occur when the values given to the Perlin noise are integers, but the numbers I use in my code are most certainly fractions.

This is the code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. {
3.     [Header("position")]
4.     public Transform tf;
5.     public Vector2 TilePieceLocation;
6.     public float TilePieceWidth = 5 / 4;
7.     [Header("BiomeMap")]
8.     public StoreBiomes BiomeMap;
9.     public Vector3 BiomeData;
10.     [Header("Customisation")]
11.     public int MaximumWorldLength = 3000;
12.     public int scale = 250;
13.     public int BiomeAmount = 1;
14.     private void Awake()
15.     {
16.         BiomeMap = GameObject.Find("Tile Generation Objects").GetComponent<StoreBiomes>();
17.     }
18.     private void Start()
19.     {
20.         #region Calculate tile piece location;
21.         TilePieceLocation = new Vector2(tf.position.x / TilePieceWidth, tf.position.z / TilePieceWidth);
22.         #endregion
23.         #region Calculate Biome
24.         BiomeData.x = TilePieceLocation.x;
25.         BiomeData.y = TilePieceLocation.y;
26.         BiomeData.z = Mathf.PerlinNoise(TilePieceLocation.x / MaximumWorldLength * scale
27.                                       , TilePieceLocation.y / MaximumWorldLength * scale)
28.                                       * BiomeAmount;
29.         BiomeMap.BiomeMap.Add(BiomeData);
30.         #endregion
31.     }
32. }
33.  

good luck!

 

Every time you run it, do the input parameters to PerlinNoise change?

 

yes

 

Shouldn't this

Code (CSharp):

1. TilePieceLocation = new Vector2(tf.position.x / TilePieceWidth, tf.position.z / TilePieceWidth);

be

Code (CSharp):

1. TilePieceLocation = new Vector2(tf.position.x / TilePieceWidth, tf.position.y / TilePieceWidth);

?

 

Can you elaborate on that please- what makes you say that? Have you used the debugger, added debug logging, or, are you simply assuming that your code will supply changing values because that is what you think should be happening?

 

I used

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         Debug.Log(TilePieceLocation + " | " +
3.             (TilePieceLocation.x / MaximumWorldLength * scale) + ", " +
4.             (TilePieceLocation.y / MaximumWorldLength * scale));
5.  

and it resulted in things like this:

-5, 7 | -5000, 7000
3, 5 | 3000, 5000
etc...

as it turned out I somehow mixed up the numbers in the inspector
so the MaximumWorldLength was 1 and the scale was 1000.

Thanks for your help

 

well my game is 2D on a platform wich goes in the x and z direction and not the y direction, but
a Vector2 doesn't have a z axis so I had to use the y axis. (I know long story, but no problems)
