I keep watching tutorials and seemingly they keep changing the landscape without a sweat. Me on the other hand is having issues, I don’t know if I’m pressing the wrong key or something, I keep holding and clicking mouse 1 after I created the landscape thing, but I can’t edit it :C Any help?
Make sure you are holding the Ctrl key (or Command on Mac I think) as you click and drag. Left mouse for positive values, Left + Shift key for negative.
EDIT: Fixed answer, thanks Inside.
You must:
-
Select scultping tool first.
-
Then you press Ctrl+LMB to edit terrain
-
Using Ctrl+Shift+LMB will make tool to work in opposite mode. (Sculpt tool for example will subtract from Heightmap).
Ahh, thanks Inside, I was thinking Mudbox I think with the right click for opposite mode.
Is it just me or does the shift key not work well for the landscape tool? I’ve tried two keyboards. I would rather use a hotkey but I can’t find the setting.
When I hold down shift to get negative terrain, it only works when I’m moving the mouse around. If I hold the mouse still, and hold shift the terrain still grows in the positive direction.
Confirmed I have this problem in v4.9.1
Shift Left click does not work, THis is like an important function. how its this giant Malfunction allowed to exist?! and how the hell is Unreal so popular when major features of the editor are literal trash.
