Request: interior cell water tutorial

Post » Tue Jun 19, 2012 12:03 pm

Searched multiple forums and wikis, and no tuts, official or otherwise on water in interior cells? I found a couple of vague comments about setting the water level of your cell, but it seems to do nothing, can anyone help?

Given that rivers, lakes and waterfalls are such an integral part of skyrim's level design, I'm kinda surprised at this. Has no one done a tut on how to add water? if you know of one please post the link I would really like to know.

WorldObjects > Activators > Water. There's water sheets in there, just stick them where you want them. The water level toggle in the cell properties is only used for outdoor areas.

Are the sheets cosmetic, or do they cause swimming when underneath them?

Yes, they create volume. Just drop one in a test cell and check it out.

You can make as much water as you want by dropping any water activator and then scaling it. It only scales on the x-y, but everything under the sheet is underwater.

Sorry to necro the thread, but how do you alter the direction the water flows in? It seems they all flow north, except for a few diagonal flows. Is there a way to rotate a water tile?
