Water Explotions

Post by ArcAngel »

Ok, I have added some water to my map.
But if I throw a grenade into the water. Nothing happens!
No explotion, nothing!!!

How do I get the grenade to go off, and blow the water into the air!?!

Maybe a weird question, but is there actually something below the water? Or does it just leak into the void / sky ?

There is terrain under the map. I kinda followed the tutorial on this server.
Are you basically suggesting that the explotions should work as standard and I have made a boo boo!!!

The water brush should extend below your terrain, or the bottom brush of the lake, pond, ocean, or river. You must overlap with your water brush, so it fills the hole. Make the sides of the water brush nodraw texture.

Also, it is a good idea to place a weapon clip brush just below the bottom surface of the depression. Granades have a bad habbit of passing right through the terrain at the bottom of water, but it depends on what texture you are using. I know it does it with sand texture.

It's also not a bad Idea to make you bottom skybox brush caulk texture because granades (and projectiles) pass through sky texture.

Hope that helps.

Maybe it's because that your water is too deep.
