Creates an area of water.

Note

X and Y positions will be changed to an even integer. i.e. -2, 0, 2, 4 etc.

Important

If you're working with dimensions, be sure to apply it by using setElementDimension .

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

• Constructor: Water (...)

Syntax

​water createWater ( ​float x1, ​float y1, ​float z1, ​float x2, ​float y2, ​float z2, ​float x3, ​float y3, ​float z3, ​float x4, ​float y4, ​float z4, [ ​bool bShallow = false ] )

Required arguments

• x1: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• y1: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• z1: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• x2: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• y2: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• z2: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• x3: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• y3: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• z3: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• x4: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• y4: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
• z4: MISSING_PARAM_DESC

Optional arguments

Note: when using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use.

• bShallow (default: false): gives the water a shallow water effect.

Returns

Returns a water element if successful, false otherwise. The water element can be repositioned with setElementPosition and destroyed with destroyElement .

• water: value

Example code for creating a water area to cover the entire San Andreas Map (flood the cities). Also,setWaterLevelis used to raise the existing rivers and lakes.

-- Setting water properties.
height = 40
SizeVal = 2998
-- Defining variables.
southWest_X = -SizeVal
southWest_Y = -SizeVal
southEast_X = SizeVal
southEast_Y = -SizeVal
northWest_X = -SizeVal
northWest_Y = SizeVal
northEast_X = SizeVal
northEast_Y = SizeVal

-- OnClientResourceStart function that creates the water.
function thaResourceStarting( )
    water = createWater ( southWest_X, southWest_Y, height, southEast_X, southEast_Y, height, northWest_X, northWest_Y, height, northEast_X, northEast_Y, height )
    setWaterLevel ( height )
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, thaResourceStarting)

This example creates water at the given coordinates and sets the height of the water level to 20 for when the client joins.

function thaResourceStarting( )
    water = createWater ( 1866, -1444, 10, 1968, -1442, 10, 1866, -1372, 10, 1968, -1370, 10 )
    setWaterLevel ( water, 20 )
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, thaResourceStarting)

This example fills the Easter Basin with water.

function fillDock()
    waters = {
        createWater (-1612, 108, 0, -1550, 108, 0, -1612, 170, 0),
        createWater (-1733, 48, 0, -1612, 48, 0, -1612, 170, 0),
        createWater (-1673, 48, 0, -1612, 48, 0, -1673, -13, 0),
        createWater (-1612, 86, 0, -1574, 86, 0, -1612, 48, 0),
        createWater (-1612, 86, 0, -1574, 86, 0, -1612, 108, 0, -1574, 108, 0), -- Rectangle
        createWater (-1610, 168, 0, -1600, 168, 0, -1610, 170, 0, -1600, 170, 0), -- Rectangle
        createWater (-1612, 170, 0, -1610, 170, 0, -1610, 168, 0),
    }
end
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, fillDock)
