I've created a terrain for water, and I've applied a water skin on it. I've applied a nice mirror shader on it. My question is, how can I register the water terrain into the PhysX physical engine, to enable the player diving in it, and how can I add fog, if the player sinks in it?

The second, how about checking if the player is in water (c_trace + mode 'scan_texture' or maybe region, not sure about region though) and checking its height through c_trace. Than add fog by doing e.g.: Code: camera.fog_start = 0.05 * camera.clip_far; // fog starts at 5% of clip range camera.fog_end = 0.3 * camera.clip_far; // total foggy at 30% of clip range d3d_fogcolor1.red = 55; d3d_fogcolor1.green = 55; d3d_fogcolor1.blue = 155; // blue fog Last edited by Reconnoiter; 07/23/13 10:15.

What you should do is really to look at mystymood, they have a nice implementation for that. Terrain tutorial using Shade-C amBx-Plugin - use amBx in GameStudio 3D Tower Defence
