Huge Problems with seawalls...

[danza3343 1]

 Heya guys, I am trying to create a river with a sea wall on both sides and the river is making it extremely hard to do so. I tried making it a cliff face so I could place the walls and the terrain tools where making it impossible to make what I wanted... A river with sea walls that are straight and diagonal. Not a huge mess D:

I looked for tutorials but the only one i found was using a city before building to make straight edged ports. Nothing to do with terraforming a natural river to a seawalled state D:

I'm not sure what hieght it has to be, how to terraform the landscape or anything and its really difficult D:

I tried again a little better but its too high and a lot of the peices don't fit.

Any help, any at all would be so greatly appriciated, thank you to everyone who reads this.

Edit: Tried again, still found the terraforming so hard, it kept raising and lowering ground where I didn't want it to making it extremely hard to get a smooth cliff edge D:

Try Pegasus' leveler lots. Search "Pegasus" on the stex, you'll find it(it should be a construction lot).

Yeah I tried them yet they don't do what they say they do :/

No matter where I point the arrow, when ever they get close to the sea edge or onto the sea it insta lowers it :/

If you've set your expectations really low by this point, you could make a sea wall or entire sea bed out of pedestrian mall tiles from the NAM. Not the best idea, I know, but it's not a command.

Yeah, I guess that could be the back up plan

Still, I see so many awesome CJs where its done flawlessly, would just wanna know how they do it

Working on the diagonal is going to be "iffy" at best.  Do you know how the "god mode cheat" works?  Once you get the right elevation, the single tile road will work, but very time consuming.

It might be an optical illusion, but the river doesn't look like it is on a true diagonal.

Pegasus, and myself have made tutorials at simpeg.com that deal with different types of terraforming.

Have you tried JayStimson's Sea Walls on the STEX at:

They work on diagonals, and will work at any elevation, so you won't need to level the shores to sea level.

Yeah, will give them a go Socko, as for the terraforming and placement, I think dragable sea walls would be amazing. Unlikely but thats what was said about curved roads 2 years back
