Need trigger to change water levels.

[iBear]

So I'm new at this whole thing, but I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I'm working on an island map, and I want to make a trigger that raises and lowers the water level at certain times of day. (Paths between the islands become walkable at low tide, but not at high tide.)

I can work the "Time of Day" event, but can't seem to find anything that affects water level. Any advice?

Change the terrain pathing, that's the only thing you can do.

I don't believe there is a way to make the water visibly rise and fall... unless you make doodads of rising water doodads in a complex way.

 

[Adiktuz]

you can try using elevators since you cannot change water level...

Thanks to everyone so far! Was curious if it was possible, and it sounds like it's not. I'm obviously going to have to make do with terrain pathing (regions that become unwalkable at certain times) or elevators. Any advice on which would be easier/better?

elevator walls will be easier since you can preplace them in the editor and don't have to find the locations you would have to change for the trigger solution

For those things you seriously should buy Sc2.
