Filling the cup

[blackricc]

just a question.
Is there any way to like....lets say you make a permanent crater deformaton at a spot and then a little after you want the whole crater to be filled with water ( only crater not anything else )

Not with real water. You need a water model. (There are cool water models on the UTM)

Have a destructible with the model, then after you make the crater, create that destructibe inside the cratter.


EDIT: Here is the UTM dl link.

Better use a flying dummy unit. Set its height to some negative value.

• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Water at Crater
  • Set Water - Last Created Unit
  • Unit - Change Flying Height to (some greater value)

You may also use some triggers about the pathability (for example adding pathing blockers).

Or you can use the rising water model that is already in Warcraft.

Add it to a dummy and after you make a crater with a ground deformation trigger you create a dummy with that model in the middle of the crater and you set it's animation speed to a low number so you can give the impression that its really filling up with water.

Hope this helped.

Yes, but the animation loops, and it resets to an "empty" stance and refills and empties itself repeatedly.

Also, the rising water model inside wc3 suck. I do rather using the one in UTM...

Would pause unit stop it or setting animation speed to 0?

 

[Shendoo2]

If you could pause the unit's animation you could see how long it takes for it to get to the loop point, and pause the unit a little bit before its gets to that point. Would look really nice.

Or you could use the flying unit (Water model from UTM) and make it raise the flying height tell its gets to the highest point in the crater, then stop. (You could see the flying height by also increasing the point value by the # you increase the flying height by, and when it reaches a certain value, stop raising it.

If you don't know how to use the rising water from wc3 then it's your problem but you can fill a crater and make it look really nice if you know what to modify in the dummy
