Proceudal Foliage - Height Issue - Valid altiude range where foliage will be placed

Hey, I have a Issue with spawning Foliage in a specific height.

I filled the Landscape with a blue tree and added a red tree in a specific height level.
The red tree is spawned correctly, only in that defined height range but it affects the full height range during the calculation progress.

Do I miss any parameters or is there a workaround to fix that issue ?

Thanks,
Fey

Hi there @Crystalfey. Hope you’re well!

Thanks and happy developing! :slight_smile:

They aren’t mutually exclusive. if you don’t want the blue tree in the same range as the red - first of all, there’s absolutely no logical reason it would spawn above the red - then, if you want it that way, you have to add the same tree with 2 different ranges for below and above in order to not have the spawner put instances in the area where the red is.

Hey, sry my description was not on the point.

Goal:
Blue - there are Bushes and Palms all over the Island, but not on the Beach
Red - There are Jungle Trees that start at a height level.

Beach - No Foliage 0 - 3m
Palm Area - starting 3m to all over the Island
Jungle Area - starting 10m to all over the Island

So in the Picture I set the Red one in the center to show that it affects all heights in calulation. compared to the first picture, you can see how dense blue is and how punched out it is, although red should only affect in the center.

Spawn location and quantity is defined by other parameters. The area they occupy has little to do with anything except for the fact that possibly its not spawning around blue one’s shade area.

Thanks a lot for your answers, I’ve now understood that I’m using the wrong parameters
since Placment Height min max is not defining the quanity and location and Density Falloff is only describing the quanity from the top not the height range.

What are the right parameters to let a tree only spawn in a certain height range without influencing the other high levels ?

They may have changed nomenclature between versions, but the definition for the Altitude at which palnts grow was defined as height as far as I remeber.
