Fountain

[Stitch]

I don't really know where to post this, but I think there's gonna be scripting involved (if possible), so I posted here...

Well, the thing is, I want to make a fountain in my map. Not just the "statue" (<-- not really something to ask about that huh? ) but also the SPLASHING water... and here is the thing: is it possible?? And if yes, can anybody tell me how to do it?

I think it's not possible, 'cause I haven't seen it in any map yet...
but it's worth the try...

CYA!!!

You can use the water leak for barrels, but to get fancy, you'll need some new .tik files. here is one I made. if you name the file "bigwaterleak.tik" and put it in main/models/fx, you will see it in the fx models menu.

Code: Select all

TIKI
setup
{
	scale 1.0
	path models/fx/dummy
	skelmodel dummy2.skd
}

init
{
	server
	{
		classname effectentity
		notsolid
		rendereffects +dontdraw
	}
	client
	{
		//cache some stuff used in this effect
			cache barrel_water_drop.spr
			cache models/fx/barrel_water_long.tik

		originemitter bigwaterleak
		(
			spawnrate 72.00
			model barrel_water_drop.spr
			alpha 1.0
			life 1
			scalemin 0.5
			scalemax .75
			scalerate 2.50
			offset 0 0 1
			offsetalongaxis crandom 1 0 0
			velocity 64
			randvelaxis range 8 -8 range 8 -8 range 8 -8
			accel 0 0 -800
		)

		originemitter bigwaterleak2
		(
			spawnrate 72.00
			model models/fx/barrel_water_long.tik
			align
			alpha 1.0
			count 4
			life 1
            	scalemin 3.0
            	scalemax 3.25
            	scalerate 1.5
            	offset 0 0 1
			offsetalongaxis crandom 1 0 0
			velocity 64
			randvelaxis random 32 crandom 16 crandom 16
			accel 0 0 -800
			physicsrate every
		)

	}
}

animations
{
        idle dummy2.skc
	start dummy2.skc
	{
		client
	        {
			enter emitteron bigwaterleak
			enter emitteron bigwaterleak2
			enter loopsound liquid_leak
	        }
	}
	stop dummy2.skc
	{
		client
	        {
	    		enter emitteroff bigwaterleak
			enter emitteroff bigwaterleak2
			enter loopsound liquid_leak wait
		}
	}
}

In my romestreets map I made a fountain, no water splash, just a custome texture for the falling water.

Yea, if you make an animated water texture on a cone shaped brush, and a small splash FX (if there is one)...
