How do I detected that my character is in water

[Roland]

Any suggestion for a good method of detecting if my character walks from land into water?

[Rick]

Can you check collision with the water plane?

[Guest Red Ocktober]

or... (if you're using the default waterplane), some simple logic would be

 

waterHeight=fw.renderer.waterHeight

 

if(characterLoc.y > waterHeight) then character is walking on land..

if(characterLoc.y < waterHeight and characterViewLoc.y>waterHeight) then character is walking in water..

if(characterLoc.y < waterHeight and characterViewLoc.y<waterHeight) then character is swimming under water..
