You might be forced to use the Waterfall Doodad Water Prop..

Because making waterfalls other wise is tricky.

It is nearly impossible to get it exactly what you want it to be, and even if you somehow get this to happen correctly it can mess up very easily by changing the terrain around it.

You mean the shallow water is "over the border"? Just try, and try, and try. At some point it will look good. There is no actual way to do it.

Thats exactly what I mean...it is going to take forever..and it messes up easily.

Try lowering them. I don't know what the shortcut is on Windows, but on Mac it's fn+command+down/up.

 

[koeienboei]

uhm.. what do u mean?

 

[NaPzt3R]

Okay, select your waterfall and press Crtl + Page Up/Page Down to move it up and down. Try moving it a bit down into the ground to see if it looks better. (This also works with other doodads. )

Well, there is no way to fix it. The cliffs "bugs" randomly.

 

[koeienboei]

is there a map where there is a nice waterfall like i told? because i can copy it ^^

 

[NaPzt3R]

I don't know. Try looking at the WcIII campaign and melee maps.

if you wanna know how i did it that good, i am using world editor unlimited, the terrain does not go crazy there like in the normal editor.

 

[koeienboei]

uhm.. should newgen not be like that?

anyways thanks^^ its really nice. I really can use this +rep ^^


uhm... when i try to copy it, when i paste it it still screws up. im trying to make it in city landscape, is it just bugged? im making it now in weu
