Water in Portal Created 13 years ago2010-06-01 18:42:06 UTC by a

Hi guys, been a few years since I mapped ha!

I've just started mapping/modding for portal, and in the first maps theres a pool of generic dirty water/acid for no particular reason, just reacquainting myself with the basics.

I seem to recall using a func_water brush based entity to make water, but I can't find it - the closest match I can find is func_water_analogue which is entirely transparent with a few random particles kicking about inside it.

How do I do water ha?

-edit-
yeah, func_water definately is not in the entity list - strikes me as odd that it's missing, any ideas?

Water in Source isn't an entity, it's a material property.
Just make a brush textured with the nodraw texture, and apply any water texture to the top and you've got water.

Haha xD

Clearly Im rustier than I imagined

Make sure to add the point entity: water_lod_control

Not 100% sure if portal has it, but you need it for half life 2+
