problem with water

[stvsteve]

Hi there.
I have a strange problem with the liquid entity.
I added a big brush (contains most of my level's space) to the game. I made it a model and added a 'liquid' entity. I attach the liquid entity to the model and you can swim in all the level (even above the water). It must be the liquid entity because you are also losing oxygen (i use another attribute, but thats irrelevant. It was like that before i changed the DamageAttribute of liquid to my new attribute).
To reproduce the problem it should be enough to make a medium sized level, add an empty brush, that covers all of the levels floor(sometimes it's enough to make it bigger than a certain size) make it a model and attach it to a liquid entity.
I first fixed the problem in my level, but it came back (without me changing anything with the water entity, model or anything that has to do with it)
Would be happy, if you can help me fixing that problem ^^
Thx

I use RFEditPro 0.7
My RealityFactory.exe has Fileversion 1, 0, 0, 1
I have a Radeon 9800 XT

Did you put something under the water entity?

[stvsteve]

[stvsteve]

It finally worked... the problem seemed to be that the water had contact with my skybox

[metal_head]

Well...I don't think s,I had the same problem and I didn't have a skybox...

It can sometimes happen. If this happens, delete the world model and build it up from scratch again (the world model). And always do a full compile after you added or changed the model. With 'Entities only', the liquid entity cannot find the model it searches for and that causes problems.
