It's still not creating splashes on displacements.
The code for creating splashes is found around line 331 in
c_effects.cpp. Here's my modded code for it:
-----------------------
// Possibly make a splash if we hit a water surface and it's in front
of the view.
if ( m_Splashes.Count() < 99 )
{
if ( RandomInt( 0, 100 ) < r_RainSplashPercentage.GetInt() )
{
trace_t trace;
UTIL_TraceLine(vOldPos, pParticle->m_Pos, MASK_SOLID, NULL,
COLLISION_GROUP_PLAYER, &trace);
if( trace.fraction < 1 )
{
DispatchParticleEffect( "rain_splash", trace.endpos,
trace.m_pEnt->GetAbsAngles() , NULL );
}
}
}
// Tell the framework it's time to remove the particle from the
list
return false;
}
// We still want this particle
return true;
}
------------------
It's completely ignoring displacements, however. If you visualize the
tracers you can see them going right through the displacements and
hitting the surface below them.
I'm so frustrated!
