Topic: Interception receiving elevations

Sometimes you want to use elevation data obtained from your own sources.
In this example, I will show you how to make Real World Terrain use your own elevation data.

How to use this:
Place the script in Editor folder.
Modify OnGetElevation and OnGetElevationRange methods for your source.
To start intercepting values, select RWT / Intercept Elevation and click Intercept.
After generating the terrains, click Release.

using InfinityCode.RealWorldTerrain.Generators;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

public class InterceptGetElevationExample : EditorWindow
{
    public static bool isIntercepted = false;

    private void OnGUI()
    {
        EditorGUI.BeginDisabledGroup(isIntercepted);

        if (GUILayout.Button("Intercept"))
        {
            // Subscribe to OnGetElevation event, to intercept receiving elevation from the provider.
            RealWorldTerrainElevationGenerator.OnGetElevation += OnGetElevation;

            // If you want to use the range of values from the selected elevation provider, just do not subscribe to RealWorldTerrainElevationGenerator.OnGetElevationRange.
            RealWorldTerrainElevationGenerator.OnGetElevationRange += OnGetElevationRange;
            isIntercepted = true;
        }

        EditorGUI.EndDisabledGroup();

        EditorGUI.BeginDisabledGroup(!isIntercepted);

        if (GUILayout.Button("Release"))
        {
            RealWorldTerrainElevationGenerator.OnGetElevation -= OnGetElevation;
            RealWorldTerrainElevationGenerator.OnGetElevationRange -= OnGetElevationRange;
            isIntercepted = false;
        }

        EditorGUI.EndDisabledGroup();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// This method will be called when the RWT wants to get the range of elevation values.
    /// If you want to use the range of values from the selected elevation provider, just do not subscribe to RealWorldTerrainElevationGenerator.OnGetElevationRange.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="minEl">Minimum elevation for the area (meters)</param>
    /// <param name="maxEl">Maximum elevation for the area (meters)</param>
    private void OnGetElevationRange(out double minEl, out double maxEl)
    {
        minEl = maxEl = 0;

        // Here you calculate the maximum and minimum elevation value,
        // or return the pre-calculated values.
    }

    /// <summary>

    /// <returns>Elevation value in meters or null (if you need to get elevation value from the provider)</returns>
    private double? OnGetElevation(double mx, double my)
    {
        // Mercator position is a tile position for zoom 0.
        // https://www.maptiler.com/google-maps-coordinates-tile-bounds-projection/
        // https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/articles/bing-maps-tile-system?redirectedfrom=MSDN

        // Here you calculate your elevation value in meters, and return that value.
        // Or return null if you need to get elevation value from the provider.

        // Points of interest:
        // Use RealWorldTerrainUtils.MercatToLatLong if you need to convert Mercator position to geographic coordinates.

        return null;
    }

    [MenuItem("RWT/Intercept Elevation")]
    private static void OpenWindow()
    {
        GetWindow<InterceptGetElevationExample>("Intercept Elevation");
    }
}
