Can someone please help me understand this? In 84 it still worked fine (I think), but basically when my units move the leave a dust trail. In water, the trail is similar but bubbly. However, once the unit gets into deeper water (not really deep, just semi deep) the effect disappears. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

To recap, the water anim does fire off, but it disappears once the unit reaches a certain depth.

This is the ceg in question: http://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/s ... s/dirt.lua

try setting "underwater=true,"
-> "water" means watersurface not underwater

we have an underwater tag now? cool!

don't forget the "try"

Yep that worked. Thanks JK.

Let me point out how incredibly awesome it is that we can switch cegs like that. For example in water I could have splashing, then underwater, bubbles.

Pretty friggin cool!

If by "now" you mean "for at least 6 years", then yes.

CEG hasn't even been around that long kloot.

wrong (scroll up)

Technically not 6 years because that commit was made in June 2006, but close enough.

Why, for 6 years, did water = true cegs fire off in deep water, and then 6 years after being introduced... ohay there is an underwater tag?

Maybe they started to work as intended? :D

(i have no idea, i am just a bit surprised about the gap of communication between engine and game developers)

Kloot, honestly didn't know.
