Terrain Editor: Water
by Bill Henderson · in Torque Game Engine · 12/19/2001 (9:53 am) · 10 replies
I've got water working in my map, textured and all that, however, I don't know what the "submergeTexture" value does. I've tried putting a texture in that field, relighting, the whole bit, but I can't see a visible change.
Does anyone know what it does?
Thanks

That is the texture that is overlayed over the screen when you are submerged in lava.

I wonder if they could add a preference for the color overlay when you're under water. Having it always be blue isn't good if you want some greeish water like I do. :) Think you guys could add that to the datablock or something? Thanks.

I believe you use a (colored) fog layer to give you the color that you want under water.

someone try this. make it so you can use a textures sequence to create the effect of different substances. maybee different colored water.

It's good that Zear beat me to this one, because I didn't know the answer. Actually there are large portions of the code I'm not familiar with, but I have the advantage of know the overal structure and where things are located, so it usually doesn't take me long to figure something out :)
