HeightMapShape3D
================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Shape3D<class_Shape3D>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A 3D height map shape used for physics collision.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

A 3D heightmap shape, intended for use in physics. Usually used to provide a shape for a :ref:`CollisionShape3D<class_CollisionShape3D>`. This is useful for terrain, but it is limited as overhangs (such as caves) cannot be stored. Holes in a **HeightMapShape3D** are created by assigning very low values to points in the desired area.

\ **Performance:** **HeightMapShape3D** is faster to check collisions against than :ref:`ConcavePolygonShape3D<class_ConcavePolygonShape3D>`, but it is significantly slower than primitive shapes like :ref:`BoxShape3D<class_BoxShape3D>`.

.. _class_HeightMapShape3D_property_map_data:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`PackedFloat32Array<class_PackedFloat32Array>` **map_data** = ``PackedFloat32Array(0, 0, 0, 0)``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_map_data** **(** :ref:`PackedFloat32Array<class_PackedFloat32Array>` value **)**
- :ref:`PackedFloat32Array<class_PackedFloat32Array>` **get_map_data** **(** **)**

Height map data, pool array must be of :ref:`map_width<class_HeightMapShape3D_property_map_width>` \* :ref:`map_depth<class_HeightMapShape3D_property_map_depth>` size.

:ref:`int<class_int>` **map_depth** = ``2``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_map_depth** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_map_depth** **(** **)**

Number of vertices in the depth of the height map. Changing this will resize the :ref:`map_data<class_HeightMapShape3D_property_map_data>`.

.. _class_HeightMapShape3D_property_map_width:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_map_width** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_map_width** **(** **)**

Number of vertices in the width of the height map. Changing this will resize the :ref:`map_data<class_HeightMapShape3D_property_map_data>`.
