Does anyone know why I just get a plain baseplate when using math.noise for the Y position?
So, basically I'm trying to do a "Custom Terrain" with math.noise.
The next script generates a new series of parts, which uses math.noise to set the part's Y position, but for some reason every part has roughly the same Y position..?
There's no parts nor models inside Workspace.
Server Script located in Workspace:
local function NewCells()
for line = -X, X, 1 do
for collumn = -Z, Z, 1 do
local Cell = Instance.new("Part", workspace.Cells)
Cell.Anchored = true
Cell.Size = Vector3.new(Size, Size, Size)
local Y = MinY + (MaxY - MinY) * (1 + math.noise(MinY / Size, MaxY / Size, Seed) / 2)
Cell.Position = Vector3.new(line, Y, collumn)
end
end
Seed = math.random(0, 1000)
end
while true do
if #workspace.Cells:GetChildren() <= 0 then
NewCells()
else
workspace.Cells:ClearAllChildren()
NewCells()
end
wait(5)
end
Hope someone helps me figure this out. Thanks.

The issue is that you used integers for both x, y and the seed. math.noise "If x, y and z are all integers, the return value will be 0"
Additional information on how to use math.noise can be found here
A quick example:-
local seed = math.random(0, 1000) + wait() -- create double
local x, z = 100, 100
local size = 0.1
local minY, maxY = 0, 5
local function NewCells()
local cell = Instance.new('Part')
cell.Anchored = true
cell.Size = Vector3.new(size, size, size)
for i=0, x, size do
for i2=0, z, size do
local tmp = cell:Clone()
tmp.Position = Vector3.new(i, minY + (maxY - minY) * (1 + math.noise(i, i2, seed) /2), i2)
tmp.Parent = workspace
end
wait(1)
end
end
NewCells()
I hope this helps.
