Hi, sorry if there is already a thread for something like this. i am new to the mappers community. i recently started fooling around with the editor and have been learning as i go.
I'm desperately trying to create a cave at the base of a cliff for a river to flow into... but i can't for the life of me find caves ANYWHERE in the doodads.
Also, i would like to know if there are any doodads or maybe techniques anyone can suggest for creating "holes" or caverns in cliffs for waterfalls to flow out of. Otherwise, it just looks like water is coming out of a solid rock...
I'm a very detailed person and i like things to look as crisp and realistic as possible.
There is a cave doodad.....a mine entrance too. Search more thoroughly using terms like 'cavern', 'hole', 'entrance' etc, or just 'mar sara' since I think they're both doodads for that tileset.
Mozared - They may seem like 'noob' questions to you because you are so experienced and that's fine. but I'll have you know I've spent over 5 hours in the editor trying to figure these things out, as well as over 3 hours searching online forums and watching YouTube videos. these 'noob' questions that I've asked are nowhere to be found. I actually already came up with the rock arch idea and that's probably what I'm going to end up doing. but Thank you for your help on this matter nonetheless.
zorbotron - Thank you for your advice! The reason i don't like the mar sara cave entrances is because they are like lava-e-ish and I'm looking for a river to run into the base of a cliff. The look of those caves does not match the look that I am going for.
Hold your horses, I never meant to be insulting or such. I'm just saying that you're asking relatively simple questions and my point was that if you have a couple of those you're free to ask them all in one thread rather than making three seperate threads. It's an organizational issue, not trying to tell you off or anything.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Cover the area with rock doodads to form a cave with enough of them.
Small note: if you have multiple 'noob' questions like this, feel free to ask them in the FAQ or put them all together in one thread.
Either way; use Rock Arches. Additionally, this thread may be of interest to you.

@Mozared:
Thanks for clarifying man. I'll be sure to remember that for future posts. Thank you for your help!
say! maybe you could do a "creative cave" topic for the WTE.

Good input, will use that. Cheers!
