How to create a water tank?

I want to create a water tank.The shape of tank can be different.
I want to input watersurfacenode to present water's surface in the tank, and when I change the posture of the tank,the surface will change too.

However,when I try to use watersurfacenode,I find that the mesh can't change its contour according to the 3d tank's posture automatically.The contour of the mesh is constant after defined,and the watersurface will spread out of the tank.

Can I change the contour of the mesh according to the posture of the tank?

Well do you have some code for us?

That would it make very easy to help and try.

Cant you set the shape of water mesh?
Oh, Irrlicht is even more dumb and limitated than I tought!

Well, theoretically there is no problem with changing the shape of water surface... you have to create triangle shape that will cap your tank and apply the water shader to it.

Well, Irrlicht can do this, it's just a matter of coding it correctly. However, this was already answered in the other thread, so this one's closed. Try to avoid cross-posting.
