Water and current. - by Lady Rowena

For the very first time I added some current to the water in my FM. But I didn't know that the current is added to every water in the level, even in a pool! :D
Is there a way to avoid this?

You need to use a different flow brush. Select the flow brush, and where it say's Group < 1 > change it to 2 and then edit it's properties.

And don't forget to press "Update in world" button after editing!

Wise from you gwave!
Are there any non-obvious caveats with using flow brushes to give water a player-affecting current? I'm touching up a mission where the player needs to be shoved down a twisting underwater tunnel (the final part of SS2's Many level), and there are several areas where the player comes to a dead stop, even though the flow brush completely encloses the player's location.
Hm, could it have anything to do with the flow brush's time value?

The player's feet could be touching the ground, which provides some traction. If the tunnel is made using cylinders, the player's phys model could be getting caught by an awkward intersection.

I'm 99% certain that isn't what's happening. In the "dead" areas the player can move around freely, as if in current-free water.

What about a screenshot in ShockEd?

Bit of a hack perhaps, but would it work to set the friction on the floor texture to 0? That way the player should keep on slidin'. Of course it would be better to figure out what's going on.

I'm gathering this isn't a common problem then.
