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

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.
