ok.i have spent all of my entire day trying to solve the flipmap iam doing in my level.

i have build a room with a pool in and a passage way into the pool. (the passage way leads you back to the room). (on the way through the passage way the flip map triggers. But i cannot seem to be able to do it. when lara goes through the passage way she sets the flip map trigger off.(the flip map should make a floor on top of the water so lara can walk across, to the other side)

i have tried to use the toggle things and the transparent and the double sided thing but when she sets it off and she walks back to the room she falls straight through the floor and into the water again.

ps...i need an answer please.
ps...IS IT POSSIBLE???, (i think it is)

It sounds to me like rather than raising blocks to make your pathway, you are just testuring the water squares. Make sure that you raise the squares by one click for Lara to be able to stand on them.

You should really look closer at the City.prj.... you will find that there is a slight illusion here..... there is in fact a room one click high above the water room ..... It is the textures and opacity in this room and the one above that are changed by the flipmap......
as I said before, the wraith 2 WILL trigger the flip but only if it actually enters the water ........
