This function checks to see if a line between two points collides with the water. This is similar to processLineOfSight, but only collides with water. Waves are not taken into account when testing the line.

Code Examples

client

This code snippet adds a /isanywaterbelowme command, which checks if there is water at 500 units below the ground at the position of the player who types it.

function checkForWater()
    if isPedOnGround(localPlayer) then
        local px, py, pz = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
        if testLineAgainstWater(px, py, pz, px, py, pz - 500) then
            outputChatBox("Yes, there is water below you.")
        else
            outputChatBox("This place looks a bit dry.")
        end
    end
end
addCommandHandler("isanywaterbelowme", checkForWater)
