Okay so my last topic got closed but I spoke with a mod and he said I can make a new one.
I am trying to make raytracing for axis aligned heightfield (aka ds grid terrain) but I dont want it to lag.
Here's what I tried, I tried Fred Frederickerson's FPS example which has terrain but he didn't bother to make the bullets collide with the terrain, so I can't use any code from that.
I also tried draw_getpixel multiple view+multiple projection color coded raytracing but it is too laggy (32 rays=6 fps). The other thing is mechanikos hieght checking + iterations but that is too laggy too.
I need a proper, speedy ray-tracing that utilizes the fact that everything is gridlocked and axis aligned.
This article gives the solution but it won't let me read it. I need to prove I am a student of some campus and I forgot my login details. Anyone who is a a student or has a professional sounding email can sign up for free. Can someone sign up and give me the pdf please?

I have a super secret solution to the raytracing, but I don't want to share it because I want to see everyone's original ideas, and see if they can make anything better. If I give my solution too early, it may cause someone to not think of the perfect solution and settle for my solution without thinking of creative solutions.
