Hello,

What's the shortest way to create water waves using the matrix?

the problem with a matrix is that you can't really scroll it's texture like an object. However you can ghost a matrix so using multiple layers you can pull off a pretty descent fx. If you want to create waves then i'd suggest you play around with SIN() and COS() functions applying them to the individual matrix points in sequence.

to make it look like the tide is going in and out try something like...

position matrix [matrix number],0,(sin(timer())*[crest - trough])+[average wave height],0

crest being the highest point of the tide and trough being the lowest point...so the code would look something like...

position matrix 1,0,(sin(timer())*10)+30,0

this will only simulate the tides...not waves... but i hope it helps anyways...
