CEGs are no longer firing off in water (In 85 and 86)

[Forboding Angel]

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!

[jK]

don't forget the "try"

[Forboding Angel]

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.

[Forboding Angel]

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.
