How Can I Make Water Effects Like Terraria?

Hi everyone

I am wondering if its possible to create some water effects like terraria even if its at a miniscule scale,I just want water to freely flow like it naturally should even if its at a slow pace.

Im really curious if its possible if someone has any feedback it would be awesome.

If anyone knows how to make the effect it would help me out alot,I would think that terrarias water effects might be to CPU intensive but what if i could make water like Minecraft where it has a source block and the water is updated every few ticks.

Sorry, I can't help you with that. I'm still a beginner. But it would be nice to know. I want to use water in my next project.

Bl4ckSh33p Awesome! Maybe we both will get some info on this subject.

This original post was made back in august.I still would love to know this myself since the only viable example i found was on Construct Classic.

Try searching again - you've missed a few examples, notably from R0j0hound.

If Advanced search doesn't find anything, use Google with the 'Site:' qualifier.

Forget about making water like Terraria/Minecraft ... For that you will need to have your level structured as array and apply Flood Fill .

Better use this (might be a little CPU intensive):

OR

If you mean sine wave effect, R0J0hound made something here:

Hmm, even I had a bit of trouble finding the C2 example I made of 2d minecraft-like water. Here it is:

Not the easiest to follow but basically all the water motion is done by checking the contents of grid positions around each water square.

I started with something simple like this:

If space below water is empty

then add a new water below.

To further extend it if a wall is below the water then new water is added to the left and right if the spaces are empty. Next to make areas fill up with water I treated water the same as a wall if the water had a wall to it's left, right and bottom. The water shares this info to water left and right. The final step I did was to have the water drain if walls were removed. It isn't 100% perfect but it's good enough.

EDIT:

Hey the capx in the topic was even in reply to RookieDev.

Is terraria water that different? I've never played it.

Thank you very much!

I found another type of water in this video:

Does anyone know how it was made?

Basically, it's using particles, on collision it spawns a particle object with one shot.
