Script.Material = ""--path

 

function Script:Start()

self.textures = { }

 

-- Fetch workshop animated water normals

for x=0,9,1

do

local name = "water1_0"..x..".tex"

self.textures[x] = Texture:Load(name,0,239702606)

end

for x=10,63,1

do

local name = "water1_"..x..".tex"

self.textures[x] = Texture:Load(name,0,239702606)

end

 

-- Load material

self.mat = Material:Load(self.Material)

self.entity:SetMaterial(self.mat)

 

self.index=0

end

 

function Script:UpdateWorld()

-- Animate normals for texture1 for material

if self.index > 63 then self.index=0 end

local count = 0

self.index=self.index+Time:GetSpeed()*0.5

count=math.floor(self.index)

self.mat:SetTexture(self.textures[count],1)

end

The item is either marked as hidden or you do not have permission to view it.

If you have a friend in the group on Steam, they can invite you.

 

You don't even need to subscribe to the package, it will just be downloaded automatically when you make that call. (Requires the latest beta.)

-- Load material

self.mat = Material:Load(self.Material)

self.entity:SetMaterial(self.mat)

 

What material is this loading?

 

I don't understand how these water animations work

self.Material is the same as Script.Material at the top of the script which is a parameter to the script. You fill that in from the editor with whatever material you want that's in your project folder. So you attach this script to anything (a plane I would guess would be best) and assign that Material parameter which will show up in the editor when you attach the script.

I'm "upgrading" the old water prefab to use these instead, this example was just my excercise to load workshop items.

But uf you just use the concrete material in my example above on a simple CSG brush, it will look like very very very shallow water on conrete for example.
