I put a stream in my map, I need to know how to get the water to be cloudy when somone is submerged. I can't see out of the water once submerged as the surface is textured on both sides, but once submerged it looks just as clear as it does on dry land.

Secondly I can't figure out how to get the water to kill someone who stays submerged. If anyone knows how plz help.

Well, I don't know about the cloudiness, maybe an effect??

But there is a Tutorial on drowning. It is very good and you can modify it to your needs. Used it before and it works.

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-377.html

I tried the tutorial u pointed out but I am totally lost, could u explain in more detail how u got it to work?

thanks

What don't you get about the tutorial?

I followed it but it doesn't work for me, must be doing something wrong but not sure what. I'm fine with everything until the code part.what do I do with this??

// Multiplayer drown script for CoD
//
// written by [D]delica
// based on _noprone.gsc by r0ger and the stock IW S&D scripts ;)
// Modifed by Spikenaylor for COD2 using the tintscreen script from//[Nip] Drowning Water Script v1
//[Nip] by BionicNipple (bionic.nipple@gmail.com)
// To use this script, you'll need two trigger_multiples, set up pretty much the same
// way as r0gers' _noprone script. One should fill the area where you have water, so as
// long as the player is in the water they will be in contact with it. Open entity
// properties and give it the targetname 'drown'. Create another trigger_multiple above it,
// and connect it to the 'drown' trig as a target. (select 'drown' trig, then the target trig,
// and press W.) The base of this trigger should be at the same level as the surface of
// your water, or a little above, depending on how soon you want people to start drowning.
// This is all you need to do in radiant. Save, close and compile.
//
// In your yourmap.gsc, call _drown with "mapsmp_drown::main();" (no quotes ;) ), and make
// sure you place _drown.gsc in the maps/mp folder of your iwd. For compatibility's sake,
// please rename _drown.gsc if you use it (viz "mp_mymapname_drown.gsc", so ppl can customise
// it to their taste without creating problems with other mods/maps ;).
//
// N.B: the sounds and fx used in this script are all custom. If you want the same sounds,
// I suggest you rip them from Hamlet.pk3. Ditto the fx ^_^

Open notepad and paste this in there. Second, you click file>save as and save it drown.gsc.

In your mapname.gsc, add the line maps\mp\drown::main();

Compile your map and run it. Exit your map and update your zone file and recompile FF.

thanks for all the help. it's working. had a _ in the drown.gsc file name so I was getting errors.

thanks again

np Glad I could help.

I think I spoke to soon. Everything works, the water drowns you and turns a blue color with a status bar when I am submerged. Then I exit and enter the water a few times til eventually the blue color and the status bar stop showing up, the water still drowns me but no status bar or blue tint. I re did all the water stuff and it still happens. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? or is there something I have to change in that drown.gsc ?

hmm. Didn't have that problem with mine. Maybe one of the mod guru's may have an answer.
