i checked off 2-side ,v-alpha and camera in the w3d options but i can't get my surface propertys to work in commando (water permable nor water).

Ive exported as terrain and hierarchial model....am i suppose to check something else off...or does the ground beneath it have to have the effect?

I assume you want to make a plane and make it look like moving water. Simple. Create a plane, put a water texture on it; then go to pass 1 in the material editor (the thing you get when you press "m" with a mesh selected)
in Stage 0 Mapping, choose Linear Offset. and in the box type "VPerSec=1"
Then hit the assign material to selection button and you should have it.

If you want to make it transparent then adjust the transparency settings in the same editor, but check valpha. and then go into the w3d tools pallete and check the box that says "VAlpha".

You can also rotate the texture on the mesh to change its direction. and if the texture is going the wrong direction change the VPerSec to UPerSec

graphic settings in-game...hmm,i'll have to look at them when i get home.

i doubt it though...last time i ran thru water in a map i remember the water sound

Do i have to have the water surface on whats beneath my water plane???

Surface effects only work on physical meshes.

The actual mesh your characters feet touch make the footfalls sounds. I suggest detaching the underwater polygons and setting them on "Underwater Dirt". This will make the splashy sound.......F0000! Razz

So i have to lower the polygons to exactly the same height as the terrain below them?

no.

The mesh that makes up the water does nothing. It is the mesh that havocs feet actually walk on that dictate what sound the ground makes when you walk on it.

So this: ________[]_________ (is the water, make the material of this "Water")
This:__________/ \____________ (is the mesh havoc walks on. Make this material "Underwater Dirt". And you will get what you want)

I can help people. Depends on what mood I am in, and who I am helping. This was done under a "Good" mood.
