How can I avoid the void?

Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you to everyone who still creates maps for CW3 and participates in these forum discussions. I enjoy it more than CW4, and being a bit nostalgic, I decided to try to create some cprl maps of my own. This is my first experience with custom scripts.
However, I've encountered an issue: after importing a map with custom scripts, when I start editing the terrain, the creeper and the AC seem to ignore my changes. They fill the void as if it were terrain according to the previous terrain configuration (from the downloaded map).
For example, this is a fragment of the BabaDrake Altemitter map N 8530. I deleted a square of terrain on the north (upper arrow), but the creeper fills the void in its place. I added some terrain below, and the creeper not only covers it, but also fills the adjacent void, as if I have deleted the border between the terrain and the void (lower arrow).
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, the recommended way to create CSM maps is using a template save.

You can download the latest version from here:
https://github.com/KnuckleCracker/CW4-CPACKS/raw/refs/heads/master/No_exit%20CSM%20%5BCW3%5D/save.cw3

Note that re-sizing the map requires you to set Freeze to 1 using below instructions.

But if you instead want to fix the void,
you can double-click to very top-left corner.

It should open a window on right side, lower part of window says walldigger.crpl.

Click that and you get some input variables.
Change RefreshTerrain to 1 and click Recompile scripts.

Hope it helps!

Thank you sooooooo much! it works! This script was named "wallclimber.crpl" for this map, but it is almost the same :)
