Water movent Created 17 years ago2006-07-02 03:34:43 UTC by organika

Hi there, i have been workng on a map and i want to try something new. I have added some water to it and what i would like to accomplish is for the water to actually move in a certain direction. I have seen this done before on some surf maps and on the map cpl_contra, IE: the green canal. If anyone knows of a tut somewhere on how to make the water have a current and increase the speed of the water plz let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

scroll down to 'waterfall', same method for running water.

this is the source forum, penguinboy

whoops, well i'm sleepy -_-
arent all the moving water in source models?
havent played around with water yet in source
anyway, i never read the forum, i just click the link on the front page, so meh. -_-

func_water_analog ? This is what I used for my moving water in Glass_War. But maybe you want to do something more complex..

Yes sm0key that is it, do you know of a tut anywhere on how to use func_water_analog? Sorry if i am so much trouble.

No trouble at all my friend. It's just a linear movement you understand. Not flowing water... But it's real simple, just assign your nodraw brush to func_water_analog and have some kind of triggering mechanism like a button or w/e to make it move, don't forget to put the distance you want it to move etc. Apply your water texture to the top, then place a water_analog entity and env_cubemap (pick brushes for reflection) over the top too and you should be all set.

Another alternative is making a regular water brush, and then placing a semi transparent func_conveyor with a scroll-texture material.
I did this in my upcoming version of cs_fallingwater and it looks good.

lol so the hl1 method works in source -_-
