Stupid Puddles

[skinny77]

I know this is going to sound stupid, but how do you make puddles? I've tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to work.

Any help will be much appreciated.

puddles? You mean shallow water? I have seen no "puddles" before

What you COULD do is make an area of shallow water, and ramp the borders. It wouldn't be exactly like what you want, but it's an idea.

Just a thought...

Make a spot of shallow water, the use the "same level" tool to make it ground again. After that, go to Advanced->Enforce Water Height Limits and make sure that's not checks. Then, use the "Lower" tool and lower the ground where you previously had the water. You'll soon start to see the water.

Unfortunately they would still be one grid square wide though... So not really a puddle. But that is as close as your gonna get to a puddle. Unless you made a custom tileset with a graphic of one. *Stops and Thinks* Hmmmm not a bad idea actually. *Runs off to room laughing*

using the lower tool that lowers the ground, NOT the cliff lower tool will create a puddle. Try it out.

People making islands or maps with a lot of water, flood the map first, then raise everything up.

When you make shallow water, it makes a cliff around it, which can sometimes be undesirable.

You can always ramp the cliff, but it takes about 392 units (3 tiles) for a ramp, so its sometimes undesirable.

A few options when working with water.


....while talking about water, don't forget you can 'tint' your water different colors, in the map options menu.
