- Terrain class C# extensions:

* RemoveTreesAtPosition()

* ContainsTreePrefab()

* RemoveTree()

* GetTreeInstances()

Fixed:

- Null-ref error regarding the selection in the inspector, when opening a Vegetation Spawner with fewer vegetation items than the last.

- Grass not spawning when the terrain's Detail Scatter Mode was set to "Coverage Mode" (Unity 2022.2+).

1.0.9

Added:

Changed:

- Newly added tree species now automatically have a randomized seed value.

- Water level visualization now expands to the entire visible camera range.

Fixed:

- Tree items appearing to float in areas with steep inclinations on high-altitude terrains.

- Fixed height range being set to 0-1 for grass when using the "Fetch and convert grass items" option.

1.0.8

Added:

- Option to toggle GPU Instancing for grass prefabs in Unity 2021.2+

- If no grass items are set up, the option is present to grab them from a specific terrain object (first set up scenario).

Changed:

- A warning is now displayed if a grass prefab uses a LOD Group, which the terrain system does not support.

1.0.7

Fixed:

- Spawning of trees breaking if a terrain has a rotated transform

- Collision cache baking also taking triggers into account.

- Height range minimum value not accepting values lower than 0. It is now based on the lowest point of the terrain(s).

- Minor UI corrections for the Personal/Light skin.

- Collision cells not being properly centered

Changed:

- New grass items now use a white color by default.

1.0.6

Changed:

- Improved spawning speed of trees by only recalculating spawn points when needed.

- Adding a new tree and closing the prefab picker will now simply create an empty tree (in case you want to drag in a specific prefab)

Fixed:

- Not being able to drag terrains into the terrain list

- Seed for tree spawn chances had them spawn in rows

- Undo/redo on tree parameters having no effect if "Auto respawn trees" was disabled in the settings

1.0.5

Added:

- Vegetation items now have an "enabled" checkbox. If disabled, it will not be spawned.

- Vegetation items now have a name label, used to more easily identify them in the inspector. (these will be automatically filled when updating)

- API now supports (re)spawning trees/grass on a specific terrain

- Improved progress bar for grass respawning

Fixed:

- Tree not respawning when modifying the minimum strength for a terrain layer mask

1.0.4

Added:

- Noise spread value for grass can now also be configured

- Adding a tree now automatically opens a project prefab picker

- Settings tab now has the option to only respawn all grass or trees

Changed:

- UI improvements for usability

- Renamed namespace to "sc.terrain.vegetationspawner" for consistency between other terrain tools

- Secondary grass color value is now kept, even if linked to main color

- Removed some terrain settings, the component should only concern itself with vegetation related settings (added more of those!)

- (C#) SpawnerBase.GrassType.Billboard was renamed to SpawnerBase.GrassType.Texture. Since a grass item isn't always a billboard

Fixed:

- Sink amount for trees not having any effect

- Inspector window being forced to a fixed width under certain circumstances in the grass tab

- Layer mask selection not selecting the correct item in some cases

1.0.3
