Hello Ive omost finished my map but I need to know how can I fill a room with water. I tryed to do it with entity func_train tekstured with water but it was no use help me please. How can I room to fill with water after pressing some button?

Now I know how to set up func_water ( the same like doors ) but I can change direction propertly.
How i should set up Pitch Yaw Roll property so the wather level will flow from floor to the ceiling - roof UP.

Nah, not a func_door. func_water is a door but it's tricky to use but works perfectly. Place 1 brush to be your water, place it up to the level you want to flood and tell it to move down, start open and toggle. That's it. Do this because otherwise when water moves and stops it renders out. No idea why. Also note that func_water brushes do not cause leaks so they may go outside the world. Never ever make a func_water entity more than one brush or you will be sorry 'cause your level will suffer water damage.

func_water is correct. They have all the properties func_doors do, so they can raise and lower. If you want it to move up, use the little drop down menu next to the pointer on the right of the properties box, and select "up"

Also note that func_water brushes do not cause leaks so they may go outside the world.

Erm... I'm pretty sure that's not true, as Orpheus said.

tekstured

win.

ahahaha tekstured

Believe me, you can place a func_water outside the world. I know this because I made a DM level that slowly flooded until most of the level was under water. I had to place a huge water brush where I wanted the level to flood because it had to cover alot of space. The only error it gave me turned out to be that the func_water brush was too big! So I split it up into three seperate func_water brushes, all of these were outside the map. I don't make my levels like some do (ie. they make it into a giant block) I just build my level with all the rooms and corridors exposed to the void (but not leaking). I have placed func_water brushes outside the world on several occations and I have never had it cause a leak. Try it out, I might just be lucky...

Yeah, its true. It works for any func_ entity. I don't know if the same applies to func_ entities that require an ORIGIN brush...

I have problem with setting flood direction.
I cant make that block to go from bottom to up or up to bottom. I tryed may combinations od X Z Y values and still nothing works. How i have to set that property to gain good looking flood ?

Wow! I're wrong!

And I told you already, just use the drop down menu next to the little compass pointer thingy, and select up.

Exactly. Otherwise, you would have a huge leak.

And it'd be pretty noticeable seeing you'd drop through the water into the void...

Of course, I didn't mean you could use a func_water to seal a leak. A func_water is never solid in any part of the game :P.

Oh man he cannot spell textured boy that is hilarious.
