Border Constraint
The border constraint is a generator constraint which restricts which tiles can appear on the outermost set of cells of the generator output.
It is similar to placing volume initial constraints, except it automatically works out which cells to affect.
Usage
Simple add the border constraint to the generator, then select which tiles to use for each border.
You can re-order the sides. Whichever side comes first takes priority for cells that are on multiple sides, i.e. corners.
Comparison with Skybox
The border constraint has very similar functionality to skyboxes. But they have different advantages.
Skybox | Border | |
---|---|---|
Constrains cells | by matching the paint they have along the border | by tile |
Controls tile rotation | Yes | No |
Works with overlapping models | only if you add paint | yes |
