And there isn´t really a poly count on scenery. Though I get an exception sometimes arround 25k thanks this will help for the scenery im making for a new map I forgot to say can you add a animation to the water Edited by DOOM899 on Oct 11, 2014 at 06:50 PM

The animation is just a scrolling animation in the shader so it should work on every surface. Water animation would be in the shader_transparent_water. something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF8aQHwcKN0 Water Droplets hitting some water in a scenery just a idea

It wouldn't I've already tried this numerous time using composite shots consiting of droplet physics in action. Whilst the content looked promising unfortunately the basic tools within hek's engine for particles is very restrictive.

It would be impractical since it would lag rendering all the meshes drawing and deleting on top of that the textures would need good quality too otherwise they look like smoke.

You can do this with just animating the 4 stage maps section of a few shader transparent Chicago extended. Edited by Maniac1000 on Oct 21, 2014 at 08:59 PM

You could easily add the frames and textures needed to make the splash effect. Just attach the shader to a plane(s) and that should be it. If it's for rain, it can be left on water surfaces at a loop so it looks consistent. If you want this for bullet decals when you shoot water, you could try using this method on .garbage tags (like those fake decals used to attach to non-BSP objects, the video is on The Pit thread somewhere).

OR you could make it a projectile. and it would work Water Droplets hitting some water in a scenery I need good Ex for that to work
