There is an easy workaround to make objects "disappear". Anvart most probably does not like it this way. He'd say it's a dirty approach because the objects do not really disappear but are moved out of sight only. Sorry, Anvart. Anyway, here it is. Link the object to a dial, linear at best. If using a circular dial, make sure to have the pivot well off center. Otherwise the object just rotates. Check my christmas tree. It has bi-colored lights. At a certain depth they will be rotated by 180 degrees (pivot centered to object). The rotation is too fast for the human eye to catch, thus giving the impression of just switching from white to red. I'd recommend a linear dial linked to the sub's depth. Check the OH's food for comparison, but use a depth linked dial instead of a fuel linked one.

@Anvart
Long time no see. I'm sad to hear about your computer. I keep my fingers crossed you will be sorted and back into business soon.


[Addition]
The 'VisibleUnderWater' controller might even work with interior files too, BUT the interior NEVER submerges. It's Y-value is 300,00. If you use 0,00 for Y, the controller might eventually do what it was meant for. But on the other hand your interior would be constantly flooded / intersected by the waterline.

Hi Diving Duck,

Great to see you here mate,

Very cleaver way to do the trick a thousand thank my friend i never figured this one out by myself

And again amazing info for the visibleunderwater controller since boot interior are theoretically not submerge it make sense that by putting negative value we will get it to work

The only problem left to solve would be to find a way to make the water invisible?

Will put to practice your approach later on tonight and will comment back here on it i think Aces start a really good thread here brilliant and priceless infos.

Fantastic work mate and i own you couple beer!



Best regards Hans
