check if terrain at a point is water

[Flitty]

is it possible to check if the terrain at a point is shallow or deep water?

 

[edo494]

check if the point is walkable, shallow water is walkable, deep is not(unless you put some blockers in shallow water)

You could also check the Z coordinate of the point, if it is > -80 or w/e(I dont know how deep deep water is considered to be) then you are in shallow water, if it is lower, you are in deep water

I didnt try any of those, but the first should work, I dont know if you can get negative Z coordinate tho

 

[Flitty]

i'm planning on using it with an ability, is there a way to stop anything not walkable being targeted? would the z axis one also pick up if the terrain was lowered but not water?

I don't think you can differentiate between deep and shallow water (I may be wrong), but you can tell if a point is water or now by using this condition:

(Terrain pathing at Point of type Floatability is off) Equal to False

or

Set Point = Wherever
Custom script: set udg_Real = GetLocationZ( udg_Point )

Water has a height of precisely 166.400

Water can have different heights on different maps.

 

[Derdan]

You're right. If you just create a map without changing the base height that's what the value is.

And, Maker, thanks for proving me wrong. It's good to know!

 

[Flitty]

I used your suggestion Derdan then ran into this problem however i just grabbed the water heights in game, which all end in .400. then i tested other areas of the map and didn't come close to one of those values so hopefully it doesn't cause any issues.

Also I can't seem to find these conditions?

Well the best solution to detect if the water is deep or not ... You should use an invisible dummy using a trigger to detect it's height . Well the deep water has a lesser height then the shallow water
Condition : Integer Condition - Height of 'dummy' less or equal to 'height'

getting the z location from above gave me the same height for shallow and deep?

 

[Derdan]

Using Z location will indeed give you the same value for shallow and deep. If you look at Maker's trigger, the conditions can be found under Boolean > Environment.

 

[edo494]

the trigger has flaw, because if you put pathing blockers of any type to shallow water, the trigger will say its deep but that is still most likely best way of detecting deep/shallow water

 

[Tonex]

I suppose by doing that one could create artificial deep water.

TheHerb: The condition u are finding is Boolean Condition. Too bad I dont have WE to tell u the specific details.
