[Lua] lower waterheight smoothly

[dennis]

Heya all,

 

I wrote this little piece of code:

 i = 1000
 repeat
  world:SetWaterHeight(i)
  i = i - 0.1
 until i < 0.80
 if i <= 0.90 then
  self.enabled = false
  self.lowerstate = false
 end

 

I wanted it to lower smoothly, so you can actually see it come down. I placed this code inside

Script:UpdateWorld()

but my screen then stuck and the water is at the preferred height

 

cheers

you are looping inside a loop already, so your entire loop will be done in every frame,

do something like this instead (not tested) :

 

in Start()

i=1000

 

in UpdateWorld()

if (i > 0.9)
then
  world:SetWaterHeight(i)
  i=i-.1*Time:GetSpeed() --use getspeed to be fps independant.
end

Thanks! works fine, looks really sick
