Is there anyway to make the script read the colour value as more of a heightmap? So that by every pixel rgb value that is above above zero it would spawn a groundpiece in the Y axis? I'm quite new to coding but i ~kinda~ understand your tutorial and code structure, so i hope you can help :)

Hi, there really cool stuff!
I want to ask doh would it be possible to generate a level based on a floor plan but making it to scale? For instance, if a room would be 5m wide by 7m length walls will be generated to real-world measurements?

Hey, I liked the video, but the script itself didn't work. Every single place is set to wall. Is far as I know, I have the exact same code and I made sure to set the texture import settings to the right values. Do you have any idea what might cause this?
