func_water moved Created 18 years ago2006-02-12 23:05:36 UTC by mustang67

in my map i have a room filled with water and there is a glass tunnel on the bottom, i made the water a func_water hoping that the brush wouldnt appear aganist the glass but rather a somewhat transparent texture. but the problem is that when i compile the map the water isnt where i put it. and it ends up in random places on the map, any one got an idea whats going on

i tried compiling with the func_water with a name and a speed on 0 and with a master but it still keeps dissapearing

"Random places" or just one place?

Is the water supposed to be moving?
Have you set a Lip value?

FUNC_WATER SUCKS....
Sorry...

Ok... I had this problem many times... The fun_water needs be only one brush... If you hollow the brush, you will (probably) have (many) problems...

To fix it (it's not a real fix) you can forge water...
Make a func_wall, apply a water tex on it, change the render mode to "texture" or something and it will be ok... As I said before, it's not a fix at all, you can't swim in a func_wall, but, if you don't need swim, it should work right...

Ahn.... Another note... the texture won't "move", "dance" or "twist"... But, who cares???

..and it won't look like water at all.

Nice to see you around Mustang!

Post a problem map if you want and look at it.

i think i solved the problem, the water was a total of 5 brushes, i tried making each one an individual func_water. it seams to be working fine so far but i need to see how it looks in openGL, ill be entering this map in the current contest. (my first contest entry ever) :

ps. yea it has been a while since ive been on, my sister has been online for 24/7 ever since i hooked the other pc up to the net...big mistake
