I want to create a water wave and the actor will move up and down when the wave comes through. Can anyone help me? Or is there any template? Thanks.

    How can I make the water wave. I want to generate the wave when I click the mouse, I know that if I use animation, I will not be able to detect the edge of the wave, then how can I make the actor move along the wave?

    So basically two questions: 1. how can I make the water wave? 2. how can I make the actor move along with the wave?

    I don't know if I made myself clear but it should looks like these.

    I think its something thats new to GS in terms of creating a proper wave effect. I guess have to wait for some of the pros to post something

    You could have a predetermined movement that is triggered when the actor collides with a wave, like this:

    this is great I've been trying to do it for ages, with not much luck as i also want my character to jump!! just can't seem to achieve it and keep the wave motion working :(

    the games is a platformed with swimming elements, like mario but with the ability to stay on top of the water too

    You may want to take a look at GShelper.com and the demos for advanced
    physics.

    Free templates and many videos, I would also look at DBA They have a free Santa template where he jumps etc, which could be a great start
