Water Splash ?

#1 · May 11, 2013, 7:05 am

Hello again

I've been trying to look how panels could splash goo around when they come out of that very goo.
Example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmOyo9RQPWA
Should I use particles or is there an entity for this ?

Thanks !

Func_physboxes make a splash when they contact water...I don't know if it's possible or not but are you able to use a func_physbox instead of a func_brush, and constrain (and/or parent) it to the panel model?

Try an env_splash entity.

I went with timed env_splash'es, and here is the result :

You could also go for a trigger_multiple; onendtouch !activator fireuser1; filter for env_splashes; and have the env_splash have onuser1 <that input I don't know right now but that makes it actually splash>

That should remove any need for timing.
(make sure the reset time of the trigger_multiple is working.)

if that falling pannel should work too; give the thing also a onstarttouch; !activator; <splash input>

The input is Splash, and IIRC VPhysics objects produce splashes when they fall into water. I'm not sure about QPhysics ones.
