Guys, I need help with something. I got the Piranha from the Store but I'm having some problems with it. I have a level with water already, it works great.

1) I put 6 piranhas in the water, the lowest level. But when the level starts they fall from the sky into the water and I have no clue why, since they are clearly on the right level, checked and double-checked. Also, it makes a loud splash-sound, and I can't find where that darn .WAV file is. I already muted all *wat*.wav files I could find. (I don't want those sounds in there)

2) If I put a 45 degree ladder or the other thing from the Cave Pack, the Piranhas will get out of the water, which is a no-no. Is there a way to still use those ladders but force the piranhas to stay in the water and never get out?

Thanks a bunch!

Ok, the piranha splash sound I found, was one of the 17*.wav files from the Materials folder.

No ideas?

I was hoping I could limit the Y moves of the piranhas, I will read more the manual to see if that's possible...

Are they following waypoints? Having them follow waypoints until the exact moment you need them helps, but that's the best advice I can give. Good luck!

try inserting ":waypointstate=1:waypointstop,state=0" or something equal into the first line of the mainscript right above ":state=0:...".

should stop them from coming out of the water, but depends on if you use darkAI or not. look into the menu of the piranha-character and look there for the soundmask, could be that it uses behavior-sounds (like MALE for normal characters, located in audiobank/behavior ...or equal), i dont know any piranha-models out there and wich scripts/fpe they use. could also be that the splash is hardcoded when something appears in water.

how deep is water? entities need a floor right under them, max-distance 1 segment in y-axis. if not, they jump.

all hints i can give, sorry if that doesnt help.

Nah, doesn't work.

Where can I setup the max-distance for the y-axis? I checked the manual but couldn't figure out the script command for that...

Maybe this?

NEWJUMPHEIGHT=X Change the default jump height of the player to X (default 50)

Doesn't work either... the problem are the ramps, so I will just remove those for now.

This probably won't work.. but what if you turned off physics for the entities?
