water_body

v1.4.8

A water surface on an editor plane. Water Prefab picks the water type.

Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:water_body. See Filter.

Where you put it

Drop the prefab water_plane from Modules\Native\Prefabs\editor_contents.xml, then scale it over the lake or sea. The mesh is editor_plane_high. Physics shape on the prefab is bo_editor_plane.

Campaign seas are huge scaled planes. A battle puddle is a smaller plane with physics material water.

What you set

Native panel.

Panel field	What to do with it
Water Prefab	Water type. The empty prefab stores a blank string. Campaign seas store Main Map Sea. Muddy ground stores Muddy Puddle.

What it does

The plane is the water. Water Prefab selects which water it is. A campaign sea stores Main Map Sea. A puddle stores Muddy Puddle.

Where it lives

Native script. Prefab: Modules\Native\Prefabs\editor_contents.xml, entity water_plane.

Examples

Empty plane. Prefab water_plane. Water Prefab is empty. Mesh editor_plane_high.

Campaign sea. SandBox\SceneObj\Main_map. Prefab water_plane scaled to about 71 × 69, mesh material worldmap_lake_clear. Water Prefab is Main Map Sea. Another plane in that scene stores Muddy Puddle.

Muddy skirmish water. Native\SceneObj\mp_skirmish_map_014. Prefab water_plane, physics material water, mesh material wat_puddle_muddy. Water Prefab is Muddy Puddle. Five planes in that scene use it.
