ground from heightFieldImpostor

[kpgbrink]

Is it possible to make a ground from a heightFieldImpostor? I need to do this in order to use get height at coordinates for my game. Or is there a way to use get height at coordinates with a heightFieldImpostor?

I mean how to make a GroundMesh from a Mesh. Sorry for being confusing.

By creating a field with CreateGround, and then serializing it, you get a mesh  and not groundMesh. This is what I do for my terrainEditor.

And to get the height of a dots on this mesh, I do this:

var getHeightMeshAtCoordinates = function(mesh, x, z) {
		var maxHeight = 256;
		var ray = new BABYLON.Ray(new BABYLON.Vector3(x, maxHeight, z), new BABYLON.Vector3(0, -1, 0), 2*maxHeight);
		var res = mesh.intersects(ray, true);
		return res.pickedPoint.y;
};

Thanks that works
