Hello Fellow Creators!
Is there any way to enable swimming mode in the character movement component as soon as the character goes underwater using the new water plugin?
I know about the physics volume and enabling the water volume. But does the new water plugin have this option as well? Cause I can’t find it.
Thanks for your time!
Hey, have you been able to figure it out? I am encountering the same problem.
Hello ERuts,
Not really, I just bought a water plugin that way better IMO: - YouTube
They have discord and are always willing to help. It’s a bit pricey, but if your game is all about water, I recommend working with something that’s not going to break or hard to work with.
Have a great day man, I hope this can help you out as it helped me out.
On a side note though, if you want to get yours to work without using the physics volume, there are several little cheats you can do to change your character’s movement mode. One of which, onces your character goes below your sea surface automatically change the mode to swimming. Do this by calculating the Z position and if it’s below your desired sea level just change the movement mode to swimming. This code would require a little work to be efficient but it could help you if done correctly even without a physics volume.
Anyways, I hope this idea can help you out, have a great day!
You need to add a PhysicsVolume and tick the “Water Volume” checkbox under “Character Movement”. Once you’re happy with the size of the volume, make sure to align its Z position with the water surface.
