Pond near Three Valleys doesn't refill water

Recommended Posts

Date/Time:

18.5.2012

What happened:

Entered pond at grid 10491275, expecting to refill my canteens. Pond is too shallow, no swimming animation anywhere I could find, not possible to refill canteens

Where you were:

10491275 Three Valleys pond near the bend in the road

What you were doing:

Trying to swim

*Current installed version:

1.5.7

Priority: Low

I am sure this is tied to how the refill code works at ponds, as currently it seems you have to be swimming in order to refill at a pond (apart from the sea). And pond object (ponds are actually 3D objects in Arma 2 engine, unlike the see) has some placement in terrain, and this one is shallow enough to not permit swimming.

Suggestion - recode refilling canteens to work when PlayerPos is in certain distance of Pond object. Much advantages: no more swimming and loosing your gear, refilling in shallow pond, refilling from the bank. Might not be possible depending on how distance from object is calculated in engine (ie obj center or object bounding box) and what function is used to get the distance.
