Is there a way of changing the quad or ski mobiles so they can ride in shallow water or underwater totally without blowing up, this feature would be sooo cool in my level.

Tnx

I guess it's hardcoded in the Tomb4.exe program, so I think not.

You really think it's hardcoded? I wonder if it might not be in the animations?

The best i can think of is you toggle the opacity to 1, but the water would be like ice.

Sorry, thats the best i can think of. For now.

[pondering about qbg's idea]

You know what you could do? Take the shatterable floor from the city WAD and re-texture it to look like ice, then place it over water. Vroom, crack, BOOM!

That might be kinda cool.

I've been thinking this through... I think that the reason it explodea when it hits water is because Lara always goes into the swimming animation when she's in water, and she just can't do that on a vehicle. I think.

Yeah i now what you mean but , does she go into the swimming animation because the quad is set to explode or is it set to explode because she goes into the swimming animation, i wanna drive underwater

Or what if there was a way of getting it to be like air underwater and triggering a flip map into water when she gets off the bike hmmmmmmmmmm, but she wouldnt get back on the bike then hmmmmmmm ????? DOH !

Have you tried placing a vehicle in a water room? I wonder what will happen when you start the game?

That is a good idea. It would be interesting to see what happens. I've always wanted to drive the motorbike towards a cliff and hop off and send the motorbike plunging down... You could do that in water with the TR2 boat.

A step down from that would be to make a one-click high room and give it water textures, and change the texture sounds to water splashes instead of footsteps. That would be as close as you can get, I think.
