3D Floor as water - any color ambiance?

[PixelWAD]

Hi, I'm using a 3D floor as an swimming pool. It works perfect, but it does not look right when submersed. Is there any way to give it a blue tint look, like in Duke 3D?

Yes of course.

The simplest is to set use the fog color property of the 3D floor's control sector. Then use its light level to control how thick the fog is. Here's an example.

Or, for exact color settings

1. Use ACS scripting

• Code: Select all

  #include "zcommon.acs"
  
  script 200 open
  
  {
  // 213:Sector_SetFade (tag, r, g, b);
      Sector_SetFade  (2, 5, 5, 125);
      
  // and/or
  
  // 212:Sector_SetColor (tag, r, g, b, desat);
      Sector_SetColor (2, 5, 5, 175, 0);
      
  //  other stuff if needed
  }

2. Use Thing types

• 9039 FadeSetter
  and/or
  9038 ColorSetter

and place them into the control sector

I believe SetFade corresponds to the fog, and SetColor to the light color, so you can set those with sector properties in UDMF (like I did in my example map) instead of ACS or setting things. I think the fade/fog makes more sense for a liquid than light, too; though I guess light could apply for a glowy liquid like nukage or lava.

Groovy!
