When u shoot barrels certain ones contain oil which leaks out is it possible to edit this effect to make it look like water? then for example u can apply this to pipes

Just an idea

Where you apply oil in the entity inspector (n) you can put water instead of oil. It says how in the middle box with all the options.

You can make a pipe a func_barrel, but the liquid runs out too quickly--if the pipe is horizontal. The amount of liquid is set by how tall the barrel is. So, if your pipe is horizontal, it runs out very fast.

well if a pipe was pressurized it would be good like that right? or do you mean it runs outta water quickly?

Both the water and oil barrels leak, but not forever.

what about if you made the pipe in like a new section like every 16 units or so.....

unless there is another solution.

what if you took your horizontal pipe, and added a vertical section to it, but the vertical section is hidden, so it looks like the horizontal pipe is leaking alot, because there is a hidden vertical section.

he says put a vertical section with in the pipe, but really ur just putting another horizantal one if u want the leak to work in all places. u might be able to make an animateed custom texture that always leaks, but i dunno how that would work.

Leaking entity

You can make a custom script_model entity that leaks all the time. It would need a trigger to set it off and would only leak at one spot (per entity). One of the tiki files for leaking water is "fx/barrel_water_leak_big.tik". It uses "start" and "stop" commands for animation.

You can also do the same for steam, smoke, yellow gas, oil, fire, dust, etc..., etc....
