Im making a 3 tier deathmatch arena, but i have one problem...
Ive used scrolling water in this as the water in this map comes out of a pipe, goes down into a water pit river thingy then out through another pipe, both pipes have bars to stop players going to far.
The problem is that whenever i test the map the water doesnt scroll like i need it too:( Could someone help?

I think you need a Func_Convoyer for this but I'm not sure that you can't make it with Func_Water! :

Hmmm... So how could someone like me make this "scrolling water?"

Maybe you can create a invisable water brush and above it create the visable Func_convoyer!

but in scroll in the texture bowse and you should come to find the conveyor belt texture and water scroll textures

So...they can both move if you tie them to a Func_convoyer! 
Anyway I thought that scroll textures scroll even if they aren't tied to a Func_Convoyer? : If it is so just rotate the texture using texture agliment, this will change the direction of the scrolling texture. If you to drift with the water use Trigger_Push!

scroll textures must be a func_conveyer to scroll.
and now for a full solution to the problem. make a normal brush where you want the water to be, and preferably have it as the same texture as you plan on using for the conveyer part. then turn it into a func_water. then put a very thin brush over it with a scroll texture. turn that into a func_conveyer and tick it as not solid. then add a trigger_push if nesisary

Or, you can make the func_water invisible by setting Rendermode: "Texture" ; and Renderamt. "0" making a simple trigger_push (in the direction of the warer flow, and then adding the func_conveyor.
That way, you have water that looks like it's moving, feels like its moving, and gives you that "Water" effect.

yep just change the direction of the texture.. thats all. If it's scrolling up for example, then select the texture, and rotate it 180 degrees so the texture is facing the opposite dir.
