    Streams & Running water MAP EDITOR

    I am trying to create a map that has waterfalls and streams with running water on rocks etc I can find water falls but no actual streams to link with the waterfalls. I'm using the PS4 version if that's the reason. Ive been looking for objects to add but so far not located it or in water levels its all static apart from sea level water.

    I agree 100% I have been WAITING for ubi to add these items to the IGE and was really hoping they would this time! Then I started SP and saw them and was EXCITED to see them in there, jumped in the IGE and NOPE nothing!

    UBI cant you add a new running water tool to the 'paths' where we can simply DRAW a water path, adjust the width and BAM we have a stream or river? seems easy! I bet thets what you do in your official software

    Add more rumbling little waterfalls and rapids too! I am really bummed by the lack of waterfalls and rapids, Im not the only one either...

    Another thing you can add is a water layer with a brisk movement animation and flow so it looks like a river, but adding in a river to the path/road tool is better since we can draw it down the terrain at any angle or slope, just like a road...

    edited this reply because didn't read it properly before, I shall examine replies more in future, not sure how to add motion animation to water if its at all possible. What is odd is how in the game there are loads of streams and waterfalls but it seems excluded from the map editor and its very restricting on who things could look really good as well. The prologue in the games campaign was awesome and I love the stream how it rolled down the map, I even stopped to look at a lot of the visuals throughout. Its quite a tricky little game editor, I wish it would have been more sandbox like minecraft in allowing for water physics so it would find a lower point and animate downwards. I hope the developers of these games would explore game creation is this way. Ill keep looking for ways even if I have to rotate waterfalls around lol so they going horizontal instead, bet it takes up tons of object room up though. Any future ideas and ways around would be brill

    Can you rotate waterfalls on the y axis to create streams?

    Also in terrain editing tools, advance edit wheel, you can add water boxes. These can be used to make lakes that are above the water table. I think you should be able to use this tool to make a stream like water body (water wouldn't be running, though).
