Dynamic waters

[CritiKill]

Now, I know that water can flow (in the form of surface waves) in PB2.5, but hear me out here. What if water worked like a movable?

Demonstration:

2


When the water is "drained," it would move to another region, as shown in picture 2. This should be entirely possible, to just move some of the movable code over to water in order to have it be dynamic.

Hm, really cool. Never seen this idea before although I'm sure it has been thought of.

Question: How would the water be drained? AKA what would drain it?

Let me know.
I'd be quite fond is it was something creative. However, this is already a cool idea in itself.

The basic idea is to move some of the movable's code into water, essentially turning the water into a movable, while retaining the ability to swim in it.
So, if you had a region, and activated a trigger (move water 'A' to region 'B') the water's area would move over to region 'B'.

Good idea, i like it a lot and can make for some interesting designs (Especially for puzzle maps). Though I'm skeptical about 1 thing:

I know it would be only a minor issue at most, but it'd look bad, since when the water goes behind a wall/door it's still visible, which isn't all that pretty to look at (Though again, minor issue).

Suggested so many times.

But I agree with the idea.

Eric, make it happen in PB2.5!

Sounds awesome, I see no reason not to do this.

very interesting idea
it will be nice to have it in the game +1

Maybe Eric could stop water from rendering inside of a solid material?

moving water to region. This is the idea I have always wanted. that is awsome.

So theres a door under the water and when the door is opened the water drains?

Yeah pretty much, but I think it would probably just disappear suddenly rather than draining realistically.
