Question Is there a way to edit terain in game without the Unity Engine?

I was originally thinking of making a building system for flat surfaces, but that would get so dull after a while- plus, the user may want to raise or lower terrain. Is there anything I can use to edit the terrain without using Unity Engine?

 

The terrain data that holds the splatmaps, height and other details can be edited at runtime, you just need to roll out your own painting/editing sulotion or find an asset that fits your needs

 

Isn't that part of UnityEngine.TerrainModule? I need to do this without the engine- in a game as an executable file.

 

the "Engine" is what is running in your exe file when you build a Unity project, so you can use this code at run-time in a build.
It sounds like you are confusing the UnityEditor namespace, which cannot run in a build (exe file) and only works in the Unity editor.

The terrain data and system works in a build and you can modify the terrain data and update a terrain at run-time.

 

Good to know! I'm interested, but I can find nothing on it. You know of any tuts?

 

I dont :/
I use the documentaion, and lots of expirimentation, and googling specific questions/topic sometimes yield good stuff

 

Will look into it! Thanks.Perhaps there would be a Unity Learn tut on this in the future- for intermediate to advanced users?
