How can I make large ocean waves? (not just the ones in Jetski but actual rolling waves.

Am I an Idiot...or is everyone else just really smart?

hmmm, i dont know too much about this, but my suggestion is to make it out of .x models and just have it looping an animation, like have a single .x for a wave, then duplicate that and string em all together in-game so it looks like the wave passes from one .x to the adjacent... cant say that it is perfect... but thats my two cents.

i meant the sin(x*50+m)! if you want to change other numbers, you have to check the matrix is big enough.

I am enlightened. However, now the game runs so slow you can't do anything. Even with the sync on 0

Ya that snippet runs very slow lol. Best idea would be to make a .x object and animate it for waves.

Look at Red_eye's code! The 'update matrix' is inside the for-next loop.
So it updates 100 TIMES. If you write it before sync it will update only once.
That's WAY faster.

Better and faster version:
