Underwater Current

[Legacy_Sintrea]

               Brainstorming thread

I want to make a hallway where when the character enters they get pushed to the end by an underwater current.

Now I'm a little stuck on how to represent that visualy.

My first idea was to put the placeable bubbles on their side, so the bubbles go sideways. Unfortunatly I can't figure out a way to do this.

I'm posting here in case anyone knows of any custom content that would be close to this idea.

Thanks!

I can see a couple of options here:

1) The bubble vfx is affected by wind, so you can make the area "windy". Downside, I don't know how you can change the direction of the wind :-P So you'd have to set up the hallway to run in the direction the wind blows (I *think* it's hard-wired to always blow from one direction).

2) You can alter the vfx model so the bubbles have a horizontal velocity and just make them align with the hallway. Downside, I think the bubbles have a drag, so the horizontal vector will drop off unless you remove drag. (been a while since I played with bubbles).

               Has anyone seen the moving water placeables that TAD expanded upon?

Gaoneng made a flowing river proof of concept placeable and TAD did more with it.

               Take three of the wave effects and combine them into one with a one low , one medium and one high on the pc and apply them to the pc. Take control of the pc with scripting and move them where you want the current to move them too. Maybe make the three about as wide as a hallways or tile

There's also Baba Yaga's waterfall (video)

And Pen's Whirlpools:


Edit: Did a little work on a "Bubbles - Streaming" placeable last night. Might work out...
