Okay, I saw in another thread that to make the texture scroll on a waterfall, you use a cog for a river. How would you get the water to go down into the waterfall? Is it sector thrust that pushes it over, or a cog?

Thanks,

Both. It's a sector thrust, but you have to use a cog to put it in there.

Well, I know that sector thrust uses a cog, but is there another cog I have to use to get the water to go over? I thought I remembered a waterfall cog in level 5 I think, where you had to go through the dam/waterfall thing.

Nope, just change the direction of the vector for the sector thrust in that part.

I followed the river and sector thrust tutorials, but cannot make my lake move. I cannot even get a default sector to make me move. What could be wrong?

Check the cog settings. That's the most likely problem.

I have gotten the sector thrust to work, but the water still does not go over the edge as I expected. Do I need to make water whereevr I want water to be, and use a mat scrolling cog, or is something wrong?

thx,

BTW, I think this needs a tutorial, I might feel compelled to write...

Everything you need is in the rivers tutorial. It works exactly the same going down as it does going sideways.

Yes, for the surface you need to use a mat scrolling cog (the 00_conveyor.cog will do it).

Yup, a waterfall is basically a river going down. The vector for down is easy: (0,0,-1)

Darn. It seems as if the water should just obey physics, and then it would be a lot easier. This is what I thought it would do, and of course I was proven wrong, and it is more work than that... oh well.

yup, but if you make a waterfall sector and flag it as underwater but don't make a downward thrust then you can easily walk up the surface under the waterfall. Someone actually used this in a level where you had to do this to get up above (temple of yavin?).
