## Example Usage

```python
import unity_skills

# === Method 1: Quick terrain with Perlin noise (RECOMMENDED) ===
# Create terrain
result = unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_create",
    name="MyTerrain", width=200, length=200, height=50)

# Generate natural terrain with Perlin noise
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_generate_perlin",
    scale=20.0,           # Larger scale = bigger features
    heightMultiplier=0.4, # Height intensity
    octaves=5,            # More octaves = more detail
    persistence=0.5,
    lacunarity=2.0)

# === Method 2: Add individual smooth hills ===
# Create flat terrain
result = unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_create",
    name="HillyTerrain", width=200, length=200, height=50)

# Add multiple smooth hills
import random
for i in range(8):
    unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_add_hill",
        normalizedX=random.uniform(0.2, 0.8),
        normalizedZ=random.uniform(0.2, 0.8),
        radius=random.uniform(0.15, 0.3),
        height=random.uniform(0.3, 0.6),
        smoothness=1.5)  # Higher = smoother

# Smooth the entire terrain for natural transitions
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_smooth",
    normalizedX=0.5, normalizedZ=0.5,
    radius=0.5, iterations=2)

# === Method 3: Create specific features ===
# Create a mountain
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_add_hill",
    normalizedX=0.5, normalizedZ=0.5,
    radius=0.25, height=0.8, smoothness=2.0)

# Create a flat plateau on top
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_flatten",
    normalizedX=0.5, normalizedZ=0.5,
    targetHeight=0.8, radius=0.1, strength=1.0)

# === Method 4: Manual height control (advanced) ===
import math
heights = []
for z in range(64):
    row = []
    for x in range(64):
        # Distance from center
        dx = (x - 32) / 32
        dz = (z - 32) / 32
        dist = math.sqrt(dx*dx + dz*dz)
        # Smooth hill with cosine falloff
        h = max(0, 0.5 * math.cos(dist * math.pi / 2)) if dist < 1 else 0
        row.append(h)
    heights.append(row)

unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_set_heights_batch",
    startX=100, startZ=100, heights=heights)

# Query height at world position
info = unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_get_height", worldX=100, worldZ=100)
print(f"Height at position: {info['height']}")
```

## Workflow Integration

All terrain operations support workflow undo/redo:

```python
# Start workflow session
unity_skills.call_skill("workflow_session_start", tag="Create Terrain")

# Create and modify terrain
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_create", name="TestTerrain")
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_generate_perlin", scale=20, heightMultiplier=0.5)
unity_skills.call_skill("terrain_add_hill", normalizedX=0.3, normalizedZ=0.3, radius=0.2)

# End session
unity_skills.call_skill("workflow_session_end")

# Later: Undo entire terrain creation
sessions = unity_skills.call_skill("workflow_session_list")
unity_skills.call_skill("workflow_session_undo", sessionId=sessions['sessions'][0]['sessionId'])
```
