This feature has never been functional in the source engine (other then with completely transparent cheap water).
The engine just doesn't process proxy effects on moving water brushes, and you have to use func_water_analog in order for players to swim in the volume. I did report this to Valve a long time ago. I was never able to find a workaround - although moving that entire map section around a static water brush did work, but felt odd (ack!). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin McKee" To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 4:47 AM Subject: [hlcoders] func_water_analog and "cheap water" > The mod I'm working on has large areas of water that are supposed to by > dynamic and change in volume.
