or maybe set physics_on and gravity to 0 , give them a physics_velocity and watch them bounce off the walls lol

Got the movement squared away thanks all.
On that water fx entity Tom mentioned. I found higgins wake and a small water plume (dont think thats what i want) Anyways I created both of them - to test, they are rectangles and have little red arrows pointing direction - I gave them targetnames and.....
nothing happens
my fin moves but no effect. Is there something i need to activate / anim command or something?

Look in the TIKIs of the effects, in the animations section. The anim that has the most content (usually start) is the one you should call.
fx

models/fx/wake.tik
You might have to scale it down for a shark fin, though. There are other things under fx that you can try.
models/fx/water_ripple_moving.tik
models/fx/water_trail_bubble.tik
I think the bubble trail is what you see when bullets are fired into water. They probably don't loop by themselves.

if i use fire it works - the fx i cant get anything from them. here is what i am using.
Code: Select all
local.o = ( $shark1.origin )
local.wake = spawn script_model
local.wake model "fx/water_ripple_moving.tik"
local.wake.origin = ( local.o )
local.wake.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
local.wake.scale = 10
local.wake targetname sharkwake
local.wake anim start
$sharkwake bind $shark1
$shark1 time 10 // travel time in seconds
$shark1 moveup 620
$shark1 moveEast 800
$shark1 waitmove
$shark1 time 10 // travel time in seconds
$shark1 moveEast 1200
$sharkwake anim start
$shark1 waitmove
boat wake

Well, here is how I did it for a boat. But, I had to stop the animation in prespawn -- because it is on by default. Notice this line: "$boat_wake bind $boat". Of course you'll have to use your own targetnames.
Code: Select all

boat_preparation:
$boat moveto $boat_dock1 // Moves boat to the starting spot.
$boat_trigger bind $boat // Attaches trigger into the boat so it moves with it.
$boat_wake bind $boat // Attaches spray emmitter to the boat.
$boat_motor bind $boat // Attaches the motor to the boat a with seperate targetname.
$boat_handle bind $boat_motor // Attaches non-solid motor handle to the boat.
$boat_bumper bind $boat //Attaches a script origin to the bow
$boat speed 150 // sets the boat speed.
local.elepos = 0 // set the position of the boat.
local.boatpos = 0
goto boat_standby // standing by and waiting player to activate the trigger.
