Could someone please make me a small snippet demonstrating how to make a boat (box) float midway ontop of a plain? (Buoyancy)

See the Buoyancy tutorial in the demo examples in Dark Physics.

Btw, the code you want is in the physics_handle sub:



So what actually makes the objects go up is this:



Simplified:

if object is below water height position
{
calculate force to forcey# variable
set body damping to simulate buoyancy
}
