    Hi,
    How can I find terrains heigth (y) in the exact location (x, z)?
    My terrain is created with built-in terrain generator.

    i searched just Terrain.smth not TerrainData.smth

    Found this: GetHeight(x: int, y: int): float;
    Hope this helps me.
    thanks

    y=TerrainData.GetHeight(x,z);
    BCE0020: An instance of type 'UnityEngine.TerrainData' is required to access non static member 'GetHeight'.
    I get this error :(

    transform.position.y = Terrain.activeTerrain.SampleHeight(transform.position);
    This works great.
    Thanks again.

    y=Terrain.activeTerrain.terrainData.GetHeight(x,z) ; works too.
