Hi,

i tried to fix some issues on the 4x Map "FlusstalV2" for use on our private Server and found a problem i cant solve myself.
All vehicles can drive under water. No dronwing, no message.

The waterplane has both attributes:
<Attribute name="onCreate" type="scriptCallback" value="Environment.onCreateWater"/>
<Attribute name="isMainWater" type="boolean" value="true"/>

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

I'd guess, a mod causes this.
Take out all mods (except the map) and try again.

Done, but problem still exists. Without mods (except the map) my vehicles can still drive under water.

Curious. Normally you get the warning "don't drive into water" and the vehicle stops.

So I'd guess it's intended by the map. The name "Flusstal" (river valley) looks suspicious concerning this behaviour. ;)
Mayby the author has disengaged the water warning in the mission.lua or extra script.

For further questions contact the author.

i've allready checked that. No extra scripts and vanilla mission.lua (from game-dir).

I've contacted the author 4 weeks ago, but no reply. (i think he dont mod anymore)
So it is up to me/us to fix this problem ;-)

Is the main waterplane somehow transformed?
Translations don't matter (usually), but rotations or scaling can cause failures.
If so, normalize (freeze) this transformations.

No, but i've nomalized it and tried again. Same as before.
Can a watershader (there is a shader for riverwater) break this game mechanic?

I don't think so. But try out.

What you also could try: all the default maps have 'mirror' waterplanes. Perhaps these are effective somehow in this issue.

Claudio Valett (scud1984) 18.03.2020 17:35
OK, i fixed it. I've imported a Waterplane from another 4x map and now it works.
Thanks Bilbo for your assistance :)
