Torque Waterfall

#1 - Animated DTS
- Particles(Emitters) at the bottom and top of the water fall...

That's how I did mine... Reason for DTS was that I ran into performance
problems with my old machine.

See Particle tutorial at http://www.codesampler.com/torque.htm

Try making a waterfall without the DTS first, should be easy...

#2 Think of what makes up a "waterfall" to you... and what style are you using?

For Gearo we used a huge DTS shape with some particles to good effect...

#3 Heh, i love the health display

full of beer = healthy

#4 It's *ale*. ; )

#5 Once I've created the water fall effect which spills down on my water block (the torque water block) there will be no water block at the top of the water fall right? Because you can only set water to one height. So the river that's at the top of the waterfall needs to be created as a DTS or something? How can I mimic the water block this way so they are seemless?

#6 Purchase TSE, it supports multiple water blocks :)

#7 You can have more than one water block in regular old TGE.

#8 So to do this I would just define another water block in scripts? Any other considerations if I do it this way?

#9 You can. I usually just copy and pasted, saved, and reloaded and then moved it in the editor. You can edit the height and overall size of the water in mission. Relighting or reloading will make sure the shoreline alpha is correct.

#10 Or, you could buy the Tim aste enviroment pack, it has lots of effects including a pre-made waterfall.
