Remove constant splashing of buoyant objects
« on: October 01, 2013, 12:09:18 PM »
Hello,

I noticed in the demo scene if I put a box into the water, it will start to repeatedly splash after a few seconds.  Is there current functionality to disable this behaviour so that it only spashes if the velocity of the object is high  (e.g. when the object first enters the water) and then doesn't splash after that if it's just floating idle in the water?

Here's a video to demonstrate the splashing I'm referring to:  http://www.ubiqvisuals.com/media/splash.rar

Thanks
Justin

There's a splash "cool down" feature.  If you add the "Scripts/object_splashEffects" component to your box object it will give that object some additional ripple and splash attributes.  The 'Splash Cool down Time' is a simple timer (in seconds) so once the object first interacts with the water after the specified number of seconds it will stop emitting splashes and ripples while the object is standing still.

Thanks, I'll give that a try!
