Default [TEC] Disappearing Torpedo

Saw something unusual today. Was playing the NSM test mission (I usually use it to test out new settings, mods etc) and got a circle running torpedo, pretty rare in itself but watch what happens when it crosses over the sub:

Now you see the torpedo



Now you don't



Can anyone shed any light on why it shows up over the sub but not normally when you look down on it through the water?

Moreover can anyone fix this so that the torp shows up all the time?

Each object in the game normaly has only 1 node with a can be visable underwater yes or no set up. If it is checked Yes that means it is only visable underwater if it is No then it can not be seen underwater easily only above water.

That is what had to be done to the oil slik effect's to make them visable above and below water 2 seperate nodes had to be created and set up to make it visable both above and bellow water.

I am in the middle of doing that for the torpedo's now I did the advanced work already on them that is why you saw the torpedo when it was over the sub then it disapeared when out of view of the underwater object already set up for above and underwater view both.

I had included the begining work with the torpedo's in the ROW mod and that is why you got a glimps of it like you did. I have to do this for the torpedo's, Underwater plant's and the rock's to make it all work and look right. Just one of the meny new things being done and created for the ROW mod that isn't totaly finished yet.

Seriously though great news, and going off what I saw its going to look very good.

Looking forward to watching a couple of type 14's slam into the side of a maru!
