A '''Lake Generator''' is a generator drawing a lake defined by a Shape.
 
Lake generators can be found in the Resource Browser in {{hl|ArmaReforger > Prefabs > WEGenerators > Water > Lake}} and are prefixed with {{hl|LG_}} for '''L'''ake Generator.
 
 
== Requirements ==
 
* A Shape (polyline, spline) defining the lake's perimeter (see {{Link|Arma Reforger:World Editor: Vector Tool|Vector Tool}})
** Said shape can be either a polyline or a spline, but the spline will be considered a polyline (and not consider its curves, only its points)
** All shapes are considered "closed"
** At least three points are required
** It is recommended to not "cross" the shape's line unless having visual glitches (upside-down lake surface) is the wanted effect
* A lake generator entity as a '''direct child''' to this shape.

A Lake Generator is a generator drawing a lake defined by a Shape.

Lake generators can be found in the Resource Browser in ArmaReforger > Prefabs > WEGenerators > Water > Lake and are prefixed with LG_ for Lake Generator.


Requirements

  • A Shape (polyline, spline) defining the lake's perimeter (see Vector Tool)
    • Said shape can be either a polyline or a spline, but the spline will be considered a polyline (and not consider its curves, only its points)
    • All shapes are considered "closed"
    • At least three points are required
    • It is recommended to not "cross" the shape's line unless having visual glitches (upside-down lake surface) is the wanted effect
  • A lake generator entity as a direct child to this shape.

Reverse Point Order

Reverse winding order of the generated mesh - used if points are not in clockwise order

Flatten By Bottom Plane

Place the lake's surface at the lowest point's altitude; otherwise the highest

Geometry As OBB

Generate physics geometry as an OBB (Object Bounding Box, a "brick") instead of exact polyline shape

Min Depth

Min depth of lake for physics geometry

Water Surface Offset

Water surface offset for physics geometry
