Making Swim-able Water in the Unreal Development Kit - UDK Tutorial

[Phycozz]

@TheMentalgen In the toolbar under view go to world properties and set the default game type to UTGame

[Phycozz]

@2centthompson That was what I thought when I first started using the program... Within one day of watching tutorials (3d buzz and thenewboston) I had gotten most of the engine down

[Nos138]

Some of you who asking for weapons in editor just go into view, world properties go to game type and set both none to UTgame :)

[TheMentalgen]

how do i get the weapons to work? when i click play from here it just starts me on the map with no weapons please help!

[2centthompson]

i give up this is stupid what were the builder who built this engine thinking its so stupid why can you just add water and resize it and edit the properties like you do in unity its gona take me months to figure out these controls even if i can get one to work

[Apocolyptosaur]

It wont let me build

[sgdstb494]

I can't jump out of the water

[33babuu]

:)



[33babuu]

man your video is very good too I love

[1NeoSeM3]

How you add an unreal tournament character?

[Shorty11100o]

Ok I did everything exactly like the video showed and I got it to work one time but I got it on another computer and tried to do it the exact same way and now everytime i go into the water it kills me... Anybody care to give some possible explanations please

[sid78601]

How do you get the gun when you click on play from here? mine doesnt seem to work ...

[DeathCon88]

alright

[thebubba12100]

I'm having trouble finding the options for post process volume. I can't find it on any of the views.

[WMDPCs]

@thebubba12100 select the volume and press F4, you can select it by clicking on the little binoculars at the top, and finding your post process volume in the list.

[demonblood47]

wat game do the weapons come from

[magemaniac33]

@demonblood47 Unreal tournament 3 - Unreal developement kit uses them

[mrmk901]

@demonblood47 unreal tournament cant remember which one

[COLERE04]

Merci c'est ce que je recherchais

[cakenugget]

My UnrealED 3.0's layout looks NOTHING like yours.

[Deafmadgamers]

@cakenugget That because UDK hasn't add anything from UTed3.0 So UTed 3.0 is much different as you thought..

[Maximusxx1]

Decent tutorial but dude slow down. Good tutorials allow the user to follow along with having to pause.

[birthnight]

@Maximusxx1 If he slowed down, there would be some crybaby like you complaining about how slow he's going. Just be glad he is giving you his time and energy for free.

[hugenhlfan30]

@DCTV97 you need to click build all (its near the end of the top bar of icons)

[desolatednightmares]

Never mind I got it!

[desolatednightmares]

One question, I have a giant environment a big island with water all the way around and I cannot get the red box to go all the way around the water, any tips?

[solan3999]

when we're under water and shoots it sill sounds like you are on land, is it possible ti change that?

[21Placebo]

I can't get out of the water

[kaltask1]

i made a terrain and tried to add water there. i got the water on the terrain and it goes over the edges of the terrain (i have a little ditch that has water). so the problem is this. if i choose terrain or the fluidinfluenceactor and try to add UTWaterVolume it just doesnt work, i cannot swim on it. what am i doing wrong? thx for advance.

[Jjunior130]

that's so raven

[OhIwantthisgamesobad]

Excellent! I did it! I made a basement-type level with water dripping from the ceiling, and this tutorial made my basement look flooded! thanks for the help, man!

[PrinceLebas]

when i go to make it swimable the UT water volume isnt there??? how do i get around this??? please help!

[MrCycloneful]

this guy has calm down with the "s"

[Madgharr]

that was very useful, thanks

[HeyItzaMeMario]

I haven't got a 'fluid surface actor'

I'm using Unreal Tournament 3 Editor

Where can i find something to mimic the fluid surface actor?

[emoSHt5000]

raven is the best

[TheLeilisa]

what's the ideal height for swimming?

[IEXIIIL3]

how do i make the water not so thick lol

[666Narag666]

is there a way to make the water appear brown reddish? (amazon forest river)?

[DarkMajesty100]

@666Narag666 Yes,you need to find/make that material.

[lildudesvideos]

when i go to load udk it doesnt load it sticks on the splash, and it will never load help plz

[xZaraki327x]

@lildudesvideos Un-install, Re-install, & defragment your hard drive. :)

[xzotic92]

alright ... dude i love u .... not in a gay way 

[TheCholerix]

Maybe an additional fog volume brings even more realism.

[Sysinput]

Thank you so much. Haha i've been using Terrain with water material as my Fluids...... Sigh nothing like walking on water... Thank you so much Raven you rock.

[TryingToBeMangaka]

where's the friggin' UDK documentation ???? ;o plz reply anyone

[shmoboy123]

Just a quick question, is it possible to make the weapons and sounds different when underwater?

[llRoBoBinHoll]

Use a 2 sided material for your fluid!!!

[shmoboy123]

@llRoBoBinHoll I was just about to say that following this tutorial I thought about something like that dor when you're underwater, I just copied the surface and rotated it though :P

[theRedAgent]

thx

[xXxDiukexXx]

Carve/substract doesnt screw yur map like in hammer, sweet :D

[ALostPizza]

[ALostPizza]

[nathanb117]

[02dartda]

Nice tutorial bro

[s4vers]

I get stuck on the part when you make it swim-able.

I understand adding the volume, but I get stuck a step Before that.

Help please!

[angeldj84]

Is there a way to make a fluid surface actor that isn't square? Like if I'm trying to make a swimming pool that is in the shape of an rectangle for example?

[omatryn]

@angeldj84 I'm no pro, but I'd think you only make the X or Y-side of the square a little longer, then do the same.

[presbarkeep]

Thank me? No, sir - THANK YOU. For putting together these tutorials and posting them. :)

[IxCarole]

raven's tutorial is the best.

[LectorTeam]

[MrKoopeh]

[0timbojim0]

i just want to say that your videos are probably the most helpful videos on YouTube about udk. thanks and keep up the good work ;D

[ShahidKapoor08]

Why have I been reading books about this when I can watch these simple videos.

Your a real life saver man.

Thanks alot!

[LucidVid]

these tutorials really help XD thanks riven...... only bad thing is my computer you can't see the numbers :(

[CHAPI929292]

what version do you use? plz tell me, I use March 2010 UDK Beta and i can't see terrains :s just when playing i posed on your other video like another guy did

[ArzhAngel]

How do I slow the Wather materials speed down ?

[tfitzg20]

Hey, I have been playing around with the fluid surface actors for a little while now, and I can't figure out how to make it so that rigid bodies and other dynamic actors affect the fluid surface actor as well. The only forces that seem to cause any reaction in the fluid actor surface are the player and certain weapon projectiles...

[MasterOfAllVideos]

Dude... your videos are fucking great!

[tintasmenn]

Marry ME !!!!!! LOL EXcelent Tutorials

[lilsnoopie]

Great tutorial many thanks, maybe slow down a little bit next time :P lol.

[VerythOmega]

Im having problems with the grid snap... im making a room and trying to subtract a hallway out of it so its even with the floor... its always a bit too high or low because of the grid snap... any tutorials or suggestions on aligning things up...

[MasterElmo]

you can go to view then drag grid to change the amount you can drag your blocks.

[The1Interpreter]

@VerythOmega A suggestion is to really zoom in and then right click the cube icon on the left bar and experiment with different sizes. That's what I did. If you don't get it, send a message and I'll try to explain it better :/

[yhenry14]

thanks,you're awesome!

[mrjimmyos]

That's awesome, thanks for this!

[MonkiFuzzProductions]

your tutorials are helpful but REALLY hard to follow since its REALLY hard to see what you are doing you really got to work on more SHOWING so it is easier to follow since you do everything so fast and without a good explanation to what you are doing its hard to follow!

/p.s do you know how to fix the thing when every item (Water houses) and such go invisible? cuz its really hard to do anything when its invisible

[DGMRuadeil]

i can see it just fine if i put it on 720p

[MonkiFuzzProductions]

well my comp is weird for some reason and if i put anything above 360p it generally LAGS so i then have to wait bout 15 mins for the whole video to buffer b4 i can watch

[jimmboy93]

@MonkiFuzzProductions If you you want Buildings and stuff to show if it is not when you put it on the map then just push "W" and it should show. Also "Q" makes the CSG visible and unvisible.

[KyleSimonEaster]

@MonkiFuzzProductions Personally You must just find it more difficult than others, because Ravens Tutorials are amazing, they explain everything perfectly. You are allowed your opinion of course. But Ravens Tut's are Crystal clear!

[FreaXoMatic]

@MonkiFuzzProductions

at the left bar at the modes (terrain mode and the others) is a cube (geometry mode)

u have to activate it and then u can click fluid survaces

[Eatmydds3]

@MonkiFuzzProductions

You accidently hit W without having the right mouse button hold in, It causes all meshes to turn hidden, Just hit W again and they should show.

[GrimK71]

@Eatmydds3 just gonna point this out, his comment is a year old.........

[element5333]

@Eatmydds3 I lol'd at your name.

[Sdgkiller]

I've done this many times bud after my dad deleted UDK and I downloaded it again ive got a problem. When i try to build it... nothing happens. I've downloade it 3 times and still got the same problem... anyone?

[DontEatRawHagis]

How do I stop someone from drowning in the water?

[kyziken]

OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! i needed this 4 a game im makin, but, im wonderin, how do u add textures???

plz reply

[angelofthedew]

All you have to do is drag the water material on to the water plain

[MagnusRulerHardt]

I don't mean to use this video as some forum or something, cause the video helped a lot, but I made a material and I can't assign it to a fluid surface actor. I can assign it to a static mesh plane, but the texture only covers a small part of it in the middle. The rest is only affected by distortion, so it look like glass that doesn't reflect with a little square of sea in the middle.

Any help, anyone?

5 stars for the video

[Cookietrooperstudios]

u wrock, unreal engine is the best game dev tool there is, it free, awesome graphics and easy!

[RipperRooX]

if u want to see the blur effect instantly by going into the water u need to set the DOF interpolation duration to 0

just as a tip for you guys

[Sdgkiller]

@RipperRooX How can you set the DOF interpolation duration on 0? Where need I click on to come there? Could you please tell me?

[RipperRooX]

oh sure sorry my fault... click on the postprocess volume --> press f4 to open properties (or simple double click)

open postproccessvolume -> settings --> the 2nd bold setting should be DOF_interpolation_duration.. here you go.. set it to 0 for instant blur effect

[Seryosin]

@RipperRooX Tnx for info :)

[RipperRooX]

glad i can help :)

[Sdgkiller]

Ah, Great! Thank you so much ;)

[Assassinsfreak]

Do you know how to make slashing? like for a waterfall or something? If so, can you make a tutorial or something like that?

[dorgeshuun123]

Also how would one go about making a river? like with a current that affects the player? Also how would one create a waterfall?

[theking199012]

well it work on a old lab top with windows 7

[sk8bamsk8]

@theking199012 go to "Can I run it".com select unreal III and if you can run that you can run this

[etherealamd]

So you have to make 3 different cubes. One for water location, one to make the water swimmable, and another to make the water blurry looking. Is there a way to just make one cube with all the default properties of regular water?

[0UVERWORLD0]

Thanks for this! beats using unrealkismat like all the other water tutorials tell you to use! subbed you <3

[theking199012]

how do you make a movie in udk

[zakyzeek]

oh dear god

[sk8bamsk8]

What am I doing wrong? when I try to build the cube I put in the specs 1024 ect then click build then it just deletes it's self

[mekanikportakal]

how the shit do you know all this

[raven67854]

UDN Documentation.

[Qtittb]

So, you're the man who can read XD

Cheers.

Q.

[raven67854]

Haha yep :)

[etherealamd]

Ok, now how the heck do you add material to the fluid surface? I just want simple bluish clear water.

[soupman2000]

How do apply a material to the fluidsurface?

[raven67854]

Check out my fluid surface actor material. Or check the fluid surface material property's

[TheOzdawg]

@raven67854

[TheOzdawg]

@raven67854 how would i make something like this exept using terrain and have it like a river

[shmoboy123]

@TheOzdawg When you create your terrain, to add the river you'd like, use the heightmap, hold ctrl and right click to make your terrain go downwards. Make a little riverbed like this and flatten it out if you like, then you do exactly the same as this tutorial, but line it up with the edge of your river you created in the terrain editor. I hope you understood that ok :)

[tormut2]

@soupman2000 Drag a material onto the surface from content editor, easy

[itatchi83]

You should probably explain Snap To Grid in this tutorial. Could cause confusion.

[MatheusMK3]

What is the system requirements for UDK??

[TheUnboundReaver]

Does anybody know what are the shortcuts for move,rotate,scale? Can't find that in docs.

Ou..and thanks for the Vids man)) Very good job and helpful a lot!

[UDKBase]

[TheUnboundReaver]
