is it possible to have a script for use on an existing water segment that will start to rise on the whole level when a switch or triger has been used. you could select the speed it would rise or fall.i was just wondering it would be quite easy to do just i have no idea how to do it

anything would be gr8

you might find that it may be impossible to do that (depending on the levelsize)as the level can only handle so many water decals at one time. I tried making a small walled in docking area with 3 piers and found that allot of my water segments didnt even show up. Same thing with rain in mass areas.Not all showed up.

Bless, another newbie who has the Half Life 2 dream Sorry, but that is impossible in the current version of FPS Creator. The only way you will be able to have that feature is if you were to open up the source code in Dark Basic Professional and code a water physics system that could be controlled through FPI scripts. Of course that will be hard if you haven't got a sufficient amount of knowledge about programming. Good luck.

The only way I could see this happening,would be to create a plane with semi transparent water texture,animate the plane and use a switch to trigger.
The water texture would be unanimated tho'.
Unless one of the brighter folks on here could tell you how to raise and lower a decal through scripting,you would only need one just scale it real big and use a larger animated texture.
You could also use a cutscene to show the water draining away,a method used a lot in commercial games which have required this sort of thing.
