when i create oceans and making my land if i go into trying it out I can go past where the ocean ends and see where it cuts off, how do i make it so that won’t happen… is there a blocker that makes it so you can’t go past a certain point, thanks yall
Yeah, the barrier device does this, you can make them large with a zone shape - hollow box to contain your play area, if thats not big enough, you can make your own box by using the solid boxes as walls.
If you want the barrier to be more circular you can build large polygon shapes like a hollow octagonal prism.
i found the barrier device but i am not understanding how to do the rest… sorry to be a bother
No bother,
Drop the barrier and change it’s Location to 0,0,0.
Change the Barrier Depth and Barrier Width to 100 and Height to maybe 40.
Enable on Phase - Always
Zone Shape - Hollow Box.
Now you should see a big red hollow box.
Change its height location so the red floor is below your lowest map point, something like 0, 0, -1600.
If it does not cover your entire play area, you can change the scale to 2, 2, 1
If it is still not big enough increase the scale again, 5 is the maximum you can scale a barrier.
For rounding off the corners, lets try octagonal.
Drop a new barrier and put it at a Position of try 16000,16000,0
Set its rotation to 0, 0, 45
Barrier Depth 100, Barrier Width 1, Barrier Height 40.
Move this into a better position and repeat for the other 3 corners

thank you for your help… if ya don’t mind i have two more question’s… I am sorry to be a bother. I am new to all this most i have learned from trial and error and some vids from the help section but somethings they don’t explain very well, One how to i change it from the red barrier and two i have been trying to make my own landscape materials like dirt, grass ect, I have watched vids but they go into multiple layers i just want to learn how to do just one, lol again i am sorry for the trouble and i do appreciate your time for helpin me out.
You can change the red in the barrier by selecting the drop down menu on the Barrier Material setting and selecting clear to turn it off, or use one of the other materials like starfield blue or portal purple.
With landscaping, tell me which of the following you can do.
Changing to Landscape Mode
Create a New Landscape
Use the Sculpt Tools to make hills and valleys
Use the Paint Tools to paint dirt and mud.
its the paint i want to make diff material so that if i am workin on my own map or one of the ones that is already created like say get rid of a house or such and in the paint material there isn’t what i want i can make it and paint it…
I’m sorry I can’t help with creating custom paint, I haven’t got into it yet, only been using UEFN defaults.
Going off the docs, it seems becoming familiar with layers is essential though.
lol that hurts the brain just reading it, couldn’t they make it simple lol
