Which brush based entity can I use to make a force like on a river??? or could u direct me to the tut cause i couldn't find it.

help apreciated :biggrin:

Can't remember where there is a tutorial, but the entity you should use a trigger_push I believe...kinda self explanatory I'd have thought :biggrin: It is a brush based entity - you put a brush over the area of effect you want and give it a power. The sorta thing you need to experiment with really.

like Reno said, a trigger_push is the entity. but if you plan to use it below the water in a river, then i believe you will be disappointed.

the closest i ever came to making it work underwater was by making lots of layers of thin triggers stacked on top of each other. but doing that was quite buggy too. :sad:

You should be able to overlap the push and water entities just fine...

easy: func_conveyor, adds a push for you, and you can use the scroll water texture to make it a river.

Did they use trigger_push on undertow? (I think it was undertow, with the great huge water complex).

I don't think you can sit "in" a func_conveyor, unless it has some kind of not solid flag...

It does.

The conveyor does have a "not solid" flag, but i you check it there is no push either :sad:

Try the func_conveyor, make it non-solid so you can go in it. Put a trigger_push in the func_conveyor. I think that would work, try it.

make it a water texture and it will be water

Not really Omega. it will just look like water. you won't be able to swim in it.

I believe Lep's waterfall tutorial covers all of this.

Waterfalls

another person whom failed to search perhaps????

i thought that was the case for all entity brushes, well I was wrong.

To be able to swim in there, I also add a func_illusionary with Contents: Volumetric Light. This acts as water in that way that a player can swim in it.

To set the fade color and intensity, you'll need to apply a texture to this func_illusionary. The color was defined by the 3rd color of that texture (If I don't mistake myself), and the brightness of the fade is set by the red value of the 4th color. The func_illusionary can be set to Render FX: Texture and Render amount: 0 to make it invisible, so it doesn't add to your w_poly's.

The reason that I don't use a func_water, is that it adds a lot to your r_speeds, and I find it rather unrealistic water. With 2 func_conveyors I can make much better-looking water...
