In WtRM, there is this place where the outdoor terrain altered. The actual altering of placing stones and changing floors is quite all right, but there also happens something that shouldn't be happening: for some reason, the terrain "shoots up", making these large towers of earth. the freakish thing is, is that there is no set_height call anywhere in the script.

The script:

//Outdoor Script for x = 2 y = 1

beginoutdoorscript;

variables;

int a,choice;

body;

beginstate INIT_STATE;
break;

beginstate START_STATE;

Are those towers corresponding to a specific set_terrain's terrain? 137, 138? Or perhaps a specific floor? 89, 44, 73, 72, 1, 3

Well, I'm not sure why it's happening, but could it be fixed by resetting the height after making the changes?

Did you set any offsets in the scendata script?

Sorry all, I was busy with stuff and didn't have time left for BoA, but here goes:

Dahak: For as far as I know, it happens randomly, but I'll check.

Minstrel: I don't think that'll work, but I can try.

Salmon: Nope.

Try running this same code inside a town, and see what the result is. If it's the same, you know it's something wrong with the code. If it's different-- it could still be the code, or it could be some weird outdoor quirk.
