Water not working right.

disanti · Post by **disanti** » Sat Feb 21, 2004 4:16 am

I have this code:

	watermesh = smgr->addHillPlaneMesh("animatedwater",
		core::dimension2d<f32>(100,100),
		core::dimension2d<s32>(15,15), 0, 0,
		core::dimension2d<f32>(0,0),
		core::dimension2d<f32>(10,10));

	waternode = smgr->addWaterSurfaceSceneNode(watermesh->getMesh(0), 3.0f, 300.0f, 30.0f);
	waternode->setPosition(core::vector3df(-500,-140,-920));

	mmanipulator->setVertexColorAlpha(watermesh->getMesh(0),10);

	waternode->setMaterialType(EMT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER);

	waternode->setMaterialTexture(0,watertexture);
	waternode->setMaterialTexture(1,watertexture);

	waternode->setAutomaticCulling(false);

The water comes out black and not semi-transparent. What is wrong?
It says in the console that the water texture is successfully loaded.

Do you have any lights in your scene?

also check if dynamic lighting is enabled or disabled.

If you are going to use the same texture for the second texture there is not need. Usually you put for the second texture what whould be at the bottom of the water.

Well, I would like the water transparent and visible from both the top and bottum but I don't know how to do that!

I have two lights, they are a bit far away from the water but they don't seem to effect the level mesh at all! WHY?! I want my lights to work!

My level mesh has EMF_LIGHTING set to true.
levelnode->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, true);

What do you mean by dynamic lighting?

Thanks!

Alright, I put a light over the water and it isn't black anymore!

Now how do I make it semi-transparent and so that it doesn't backface-cull?

To turn culling off:
waternode->setAutomaticCulling (false);

deps, I already have that if you look at the source above!

Ok got the water to be semi-transparent my making the material a "transparent add color".

Works great. I just wish the lighting of my level would work right.
