Well there's no way to make a tunnel through the terrain afaik. But you can make the whole thing out of rock. Like in the plant section of the editor, valleyrock_flat and stuff like that. I can make a screenshot if you want me to.

EDIT : Valleyrock_flat is a no go for tunnels, you can see through one side, so just stick to the other valley rocks.

So if you want a tunnel here's what it would look like...

So that's basically just a bucnh of rocks piled onto eachother.

It is harder making it look like it's going underground but you could do something like this...

You just do that by carving out a hole where you want your tunnel to go.
You have to make sure there is no water under the map, if there is just elevate the ground to 6 meters, then make the hole where you want your cave to go, the hole's elevation should be 1 meter ( so 5 meters deep ).
Make the tunnel dip into the ground, like make the entrance part go downwards, then the middle is straight, then as the tunnel is nearing the door make it go up.

Thanks, ive no problem how the tunel looks, theres even some tunnel dungeon objects that look cool, what i realy wanted to know is how to make a hole.

There are some siege maps in our server rotation that sowsh exacly what i mean.

Ok then editted my above post. I hope that's what you mean. You could just make a hole then put a dungeon corridor in it and then put rocks on over the ceiling so it isn't see through. But since you mentioned a dungeon corridor here is another example.

You can fill in the gaps of the hole with rocks.
