[Theory] Water Waves

[WraithSeeker]

So today I was out on the beach, looking over the sea with ships and stuff, I saw waves of water which crashed upon the rocks and I was thinking about something, is it possible to make wc3 water look realistic by making the water go up and down randomly?

Also making waves of water move fast and slow possible? Looking as though they are disturbed by something and is crashing at a direction with sounds if possible.

So is this thing makeable? making waves of water go up and down, using waves and can manipulate speed of the waves / water so it looks realistic unlike dull wc3 water which is so square.

Doubt it.. there's a doodad that's a wave.. you can place it randomly over the water with a trigger but thats all i can think of..

There's a blizzard water raising doodad. I've got no idea how it would look if you'd place it on the sea, but maybe it gives a bit of raising/lowering water level a bit.

IMO terrain deformations do not affect water.

1 word mate: Ripples. It's the first word that came to mind when I read your post. I hope you understand what it means.

 

[WraithSeeker]

What about making the water go up and down? Ripples don't do that. Like in real life where there are big waves due to disturbances

Try what I posted in my first post. I only know that that doodad raises/lowers water level within the doodad, so you might need to **** around with it a bit, but it might give a solution.

Where is the model file for it then?
I only seen them on the UTM

 

[Avator]

No, there's one made by Blizzard in the basic WE. I don't remember where, but I'm absolutely sure there are a few.

WC3 is not designed to support realistic water.

 

[demon.spider]

i think some type of custom doodad is your best bet

Wow as if this problem was not old enough. I last posted in it back in january.

Please read the rules of the site.

could you maybe make a trigger turn the bubbles or somthing on and off in like rows att a time to make look like wave.
like you got bubbles in line then another line then so on...then activate them row by row or somthing... probly cant even do it but maybe u could mess with the bubbles or steam and stuff??
