variation event issue | Forums

I have a variation event connected to a water effect. after the effect changes the yellow object box shows while racing. how do I fix this.

instead of variation event use two OPEs, one to move the first water away, another to bring the yellow water to the exact location blue water was.

Alternatively just obstruct the icon by placing a rock there or something.

EDIT: Just read your post properly, do the same thing with the OPEs as I said before but with the variation of water you want.

example: get the global co-ordinates of water variation you have in place with object info datasource, then OPE that water variation away (Global co-ordinates of 0.000 for all axis), then OPE the new variation of water to the co-ordinates that the object info datasource displays. Have your chain set up so this happens within the same tick.

I went much simpler. I just duplicated the water effect using variation 2
. then use hit trigger to activate it.

I should really read posts properly. I thought you was talking about a body of water from the environment category, as well as thinking you wanted it to change colour to yellow.


Well done for getting it sorted easy.
