[General] Localized Water Coloring - Mulitple Water colors in single map

[Tzalksar]

As the title says, I'm looking for help to see if I can do different water colors for separate bodies of water. Like, I may want like a small pond of what looks like blood (darkred) and maybe like a vat of acid (green) in another spot.

Edit: While we're at it: changing visibility for doodads. I.E. making a tree look see-through naturally

Not really possible with the default water. You'd probably want to use imported models on doodads to actually make the water's surface.

 

[Tzalksar]

Darn it all. I mean... I guess I can change water tint as a character changes regions, though it could get tricky with multiple people making the water color change.
Thanks anyway!

Now about them trees >.>

It should be safe to set water tint locally for specific clients.

So I could instance water color? so in region x water is red, and in region y iis blue (but red only for the player in region x and vice versa?)

You should be able to change the tint for all water for a specific client which is controlling a specific player.

If you can locally change water color like DSG said, then you can check the players camera position, if they can see the water, change it to the color you want.

The only downside is you can't have multiple water colors on the screen at the same time.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Another solution would be a custom model water plain that is positioned above the ground. These could be tinted whatever colour needed.

 

[Tzalksar]

still need to know about them trees though. Thanks for the feedback all!

 

[Dr Super Good]

If one cannot tint them in the object editor then the only way might be to use custom models which are transparent.

If you are referring to occlusion then that has been bugged/broken in Warcraft III for a very long time.
