I replaced the build in terrain function with another solution, which projects a point onto a plane. I could use this to get all of the needed points onto the same plane, so that I could get the distance between them. I could then use this distance to determine which pixels should contain ground cover, and which shouldn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This solution was much faster, and seemed to work, but when the player approached areas with a lot of ground cover exclusion objects (such as settlements, etc), it too became slightly too slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am now looking into multithreading as a solution, but I will need to rewrite quite a lot of code to make it thread safe (transform.transformpoint, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot call setpixels from another thread, but the main bottleneck is in loading the array for setpixels, this is where I need to improve performance, so multithreading should be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
