If I'm getting this right you want to know if Setting height will change anything that has to do with the water? I don't think it will it will just set if the water type has a ceiling how high that is :/

lets say I want make a river on floor -3. So i create some solid tileset on floor -2 and than place water tiles on floor -3. Put water object to map. Now surface of the water is still floating on -1 floor in the air. setting height of the water object do nothing.SnowyOwl47 wrote:Please explain this a little better next time,Drakkan wrote:If I place any water tile on lower floor, surface of the water is still appearing on -1, but I want surface on -3 !

EDIT - yes I think there is some definiton in asset on which floor water surface is placed, so seems without manual we are lost :/

When you place down water you find the water for whatever your using forest/castle/dungeon/beach/etc no need to place a floor it will already to that automatically lets say you want to make a river with a bridge you'd use forest water place it down at -1 or lower, and make sure to add a ladder so if they fall in they can get back up but what I do is put invisible_walls to make sure they can't even go in it. And then you place your bridge the water done easyDrakkan wrote:lets say I want make a river on floor -3. So i create some solid tileset on floor -2 and than place water tiles on floor -3.

The water level (height if the surface of the water) is fixed. You can't change that atm.
So you can't create water at -3, you will need to plan beforehand, and start the level at a higher elevation so that when the party has gone down be 3 and sees the water, they are at 0

I wonder if there will eventually be a way to change it, especially in a non-global way.Skuggasveinn wrote:The water level (height if the surface of the water) is fixed. You can't change that atm.

Like water height here at 5, but over here it is -2. : 3
Vertical movement in water would be cool too. From what I've seen so far, it should be possible once we know more about various objects.
Re: Any way how to move surface height of the water ?
thanks for tips guys, however not possible to start making level lets say on floor 3, because majority tiles does not support that (as I am aware only dungeon tileset is working for this). So definitely I hope we will be able to set evrything as required when having some documentation, because editor seems little crappy in this direction as for now :/

I hope so too. Seems like it would be a very simple thing to alter. I have a map that goes from -7 to 7 and only wanted water from -5.
