Colored Water

[apsycobear]

Im trying to make green water(plagued water) and it works using the mana/life regen art as the model, the bubbles from the effect make it look even nicer, but they end up dragging into the land due to the size of the object. When i decrease the size of the object the effect doesnt look as nice. Any alternate method to get the green water color, or atleast get rid of the bubbles on land.

Would "Scenario" -> "Map Options" -> "Use Water Tinting Color" (at the bottom) work for you? Or do you need it only in a specific area?

 

[apsycobear]

Specific areas only, red for lava, prple for magic, green for plague, ect..

Then use Triggers, it's under the Environment section, Set Water Tinting color.

Havnt used a trigger for such a thing before, does it require a region be there and i trigger the regions tint? Much appreciated if you cud go into a little bit of detail.

My fault, you want several areas tinted. This trigger will swap the color of the water in map, globally, for every river/lake. In order to achieve this result, you will need UTM, the Ultimate Terraining Map (you can find it in the Terrain section, it's stickied). It contains water models (of 128x128) to create water kinds of your own.

I can simply export and import these models I to my map correct?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Correct; they will not burden your map, they are really small in size.

Or you can use fog?

 

[Pharaoh_]

To what point fog will colorize the water? :I

 

[apsycobear]

K well i got it to work, any way i can slow down the flow of water? Seems to be moving pretty fast to be a steady area of water.

 

[SA Dashie]

Well if he wants plagued water he can just use green colored fog. You know because it is plagued . Sorta depends what you want it to look like. Also saying because they can be set on regions with and without triggering and also it wont take up any "file size" space.

I have never tried it with these models, apsychobear, but Animation speed (triggered action) works for the model itself, not the rate of the textures' replacement, so that would require a model editing.
