What do u think?

[Lucifer Crass]

Well, I wanna start of by saying that i was wondering if you will be able to make a mod that can make water flow out of a container.

Also i am kinda getting edgy because of the wait of Half-Life 2

Yes it is possible to make a mod that can make water flow out of a container with Source engine.Also I think were all a little edgey due to that HL2 is possibly coming out in about a month.Just make sure you don't get to hyped that you want to blow your brains out.

Actually I'm pretty sure that's NOT possible, nor is it possible in any games currently out.

I don't think it is possible. The water isn't physically simulated, only the refraction and water effects.

I think modelling fluid flow would be too CPU intensive.

I am definatly eating babies for satan... just not right at this moment... ok now I am.

 

[CommieX]

mmm...babies...

 

[Tr0n]

Well I was refering to something I saw in Info thread I think someone sent e-mail to Valve asking that same question and they said it was possible.I know you probally couldn't on current games.Wait I think it was on another thread.I can't remember.

Oh and lemme save you the trouble of askin Gabe and Ill answer for him.

"You could do this but it would take some work. It's a nice MOD kind of problem."

There we go, right from the horses mouth more or less.

I really don't think this is technically possible with the source engine.

"If I were to create a map in HL2 and build a giant wooden
container, containing water and i would shoot out one of
the sides, will the water flow out of the container?"

Gabe says: "No"

 

[Tr0n]

So was I right or 50% right?

 

[Tr0n]

Thats if you make a map in HL2.He is talknig about modifying source and doing the water thing.

How does Source simulate fluid?

We simulate objects moving through fluids with surface fluid pressure and buoyancy. We don't simulate the fluid itself, but floating works automatically based on the density and volume of the objects and the fluid (all masses and densities of objects and fluids are scriptable).

That would be hott.

 

[Tr0n]

Well coolio no one really knows if you could do a water container mod or not.It's up to the scripter/programars knowledge of source.

What is with the people who want water to flow out of a container? What is the point of it, and what is all the obsession with it?

Water is not physically simualted, so any flowing water would have to be done with specific effects.

 

[Guest]

Yeah what is the fascination over water all about? Id rather mess around with the physics

 

[Lucifer Crass]

Well think about it? What if u could have boiling water in a hudge cup and use the manipulator to dump it on sum1's dumbass hehehe
(Deathmatch anyone)

 

[Letters]

Mmmm... that sounds absolutely refreshing ... I want boiling water dumped on my dumbass! Now!
