My second map is really comming together. This is the first time i have used water, a fun learning experience. The water is fine but sentries will not shoot out of the water. I know there is something that i am missing, but no clue what it is. Also i can only see "5 feet' in front of me underwater. Please hit me in the head here and tell me what i have missed :)

Thanks

what water texture is it?
Did you no draw 5 of the sides and put the water texture on top?

I believe that's just the way sentries are. They won't fire out of water, but will fire into it. The visibility has to do with the settings in the material... try a different water material.

You can build sentry's under the water on 2fort that shoots anything it sees. :confused:

It depends on where in that water they are at, If its completely underwater it wont shoot out of the water

Actually, this is wrong too. If you build a sentry at the very bottom of the water in well, it shoots the people jumping over the mote/going over the bridges. So in all cases, the sentry is able to shoot out of the water.

I just tested to confirm if I was right or not, I built a sentry and it was unable to shoot at people that was NOT in the water
