Rising Water

How do I make it so that I can press a button which will then trigger water to rise from the ground or just grow taller?

I made a quick flash movie as an example: http://www.ikilledgoliath.com/flood.htm

heh i like the flash

i believe you want to make a water brush into water_analog or something to make it move not sure tho

This is very easy. Func_water works just like a func_door, So you
set the move direction to up. Then build your water where you
want it to be and move the water brush down to the starting
position. Once you have that set up set the button to trigger the
water to "open".

great flash animation really helps. =)

lol thanks. i made that movie in like 1 minute. i'll try to make more example videos for now on. it should make my questions easier to understand.

I would use a func_water_analog instead of the func_water, which doesnt
work properly in hl2, hence the need for a func_water_analog. the
func_water is merely for compatibility with hl1 ported maps

also, use a water_moving_plane (or something like that) as the texture

opps lol. i didnt do any func. i'll apply it now.
