Sampling Terrain Water Height at Any Position

Hello,

Do you have a working boat example you could share the .rbxl of?

Thanks

Right now I’m in the works of making it driveable and fixing issues with weight, I might share it here once I’m done.

I have managed to complete the floating boat on the water terrain! Everything works perfectly but I do need to tweak the boat driving though.

we got realistic boat physics in ROBOX before GTA 6

Ok so I’ve fully finished the system, driving and floating works as well as syncing with the waves, radius of the water can literally be as big as it can and performance will still be great. Might consider releasing this as a starter kit for developers in the future.

A starter kit would be amazing!
I’d use this effect to create bubbling water in Cauldrons etc. It would give Developers a better understanding on movement! :face_holding_back_tears:

Alright after reading these comments I’m more than happy to release this as a starter kit for a boat system, along with a YouTube video tutorial on how to set it up. I will come back to this post soon with a devforum post link to the kit, see you soon!

Wow, this is amazing! This is the smoothest buoyancy I’ve seen on Roblox. Would it be easy to implement this to making players float like this?

It should be possible yes, not sure if the movement of the player would affect it, but I’m sure there would definitely be a way around it.

Initially struggled with setting up the function but i got it now

Why cant Roblox just make this a feature lol

Did you end up releasing this?

Not for free, I realised that I spent too much time on this and it was valuable time that I wasted, but I created something new, the system is for sale, but it’s still pending to be put on sale.

I don’t see your time being wasted. By releasing it your allowing many games on Roblox to have better oceans or bodies of water in general. By your logic spending your valuable time on something for others to enjoy would be a waste of time and I disagree. I understand if you make it cost money because I’m sure you would want the long amount of time you took to result in more than just others using your project without credit. Although releasing it for free would make me and many others very happy.

It would be nice if we got an update on the system as well.

Hey, so it’s been a while since I’ve actually looked back at this project, I’ve decided I’m just going to release the kit for free, I’m going to make a post and I’ll link it here so you guys can grab the kit for yourselves.
