You can select " Terrain," "Stairs," or " Slope" as the type of terrain block.
Stairs and slopes are special terrain blocks that behave more like objects.
The elevation cannot be changed, but the orientation can be changed instead.
In setting up, the texture may be shifted on terrains with only two texture frames.

[Repeat Bottom] If the maximum elevation provided by the texture is exceeded, the bottom texture will be used repeatedly.
- Traversable
Allow walking on terrain blocks.
- Liquid
It displays the top surface slightly lower than the surrounding ground, like the ocean.
- Round Corners

For natural terrain, specify YES for natural rounding.
Also, for man-made terrain such as blocks or marble, NO will not round the corners.
- Sound Effects
A sound effect can be specified for each terrain.
