[General] How to freeze the water? :D

[stan0033]

I want to stop the waves of the water, i.e freeze it? Any way to do this?

I don't think that's merely possible

If it's possible, I believe that the water is an animated model, you have to import the same model but not animated I guess.
And that applies also on the edges of the water ( Edge water-to-ground ).
Yet, I don't know the path of the model, you can give me the path of the model inside the MPQ and I will try to remove the animation from it, after that, you will only have to import the model into import editor and change its path which fits the same model inside the MPQ files...

I wish someone here helps with the path or either another way to do it.

If you ever wish to pause the water in the middle of the game, you will have to replace the water with the frozen one.

I am a GUI triggerer that's why I can't help further. Tweak the options in 'Advanced' tap

Get an MPQ editor and export all water models from Doodads/LordaeronSummer/water

Oh damn, I can think of many ways to achieve that effect. However every single one got some kind of flaw/negative effect.

I suppose juts covering the water with a doodad would be the obvious solution here.

What if you can create a unit with a watermodel and then pause the animation?

 

[Bannar]

It's unnecessary overhead caused by units especialy if the water area is quite big. Better to avoid units when possible.

that is a stupid idea. How do you imagine that I put endless units in the map?

Whatever dude, i don't know how much water u need. And a unit can be as big as you want.

Replace the water textures with ice, or only one texture (imported multiple times), and make the shore texture blank. It's not nearly as filesize heavy as one would think.
