Trouble with Water...

[Duster47]

How do you a water puddle in an interior (Tile) area? Or fill a bathtub. I did it inside the CK-Quarters area but darned if I can get it to work now.

I select Terrain, Water, Draw and get the circle-in-circle "paint brush". If I left click and drag it around nothing happens. I have "water" highlighted in the top menu bar. I can see the circle-in-circle clearly cut area objects indicating the expected waterlines' level. Yet, no actual water is produced with left-click, hold, and move. Right clicking makes the brush appear or disappear.

What am I doing wrong?!

You need to raise the height of the water.

I think its default height is right at the floor of an interior so nothing shows up.l

water is tricky for me, it wont show in the toolset some times but if i go to run the module it will be there

Also a lack of lighting will make water not show up.

If you are adding water to an interior you have to go into the module properties and set "show water" to true.

[Eviloth]

Yeah up at the top can't you just click the WATER button?

[TheVoid]

That funtion normally works on exteriors not interiors. If your interior is unusually dark you will also need some kind of lightsource to show the water as well.

[Blackman D]

also you have to rebake to show updates with water when you go to run the module

Thanks for the help. Adding a light in the area and putzing with elevation finally produced some water.

*sighs* Now I have to go back over everything. Gah! More work. Well, thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering what I was doing wrong.

you can also add directional light over the water, i think that works just raise the light above the water
