Water

Water is a dynamic area where the player can float and swim. Add this component to an empty gameobject.

Note

The player’s Swim ability must be enabled to interact with water.

Property
Shape	If Square is enabled, the system renders the water using square blocks. No textures or sprites are required. However, the sorting layer will always be set to default (a Unity limitation). If Round is enabled, the system renders the water using a Mesh Renderer, creating a more curved wave. A Texture2D and Material are required.
Type	If Float is enabled, the player will stay above the water line. If Swim is enabled, the player can swim inside the water.
Segments	The number of elements that create the water. The higher the number, the less blocky the water will look.
Create On Awake	If enabled, the water will recreate itself on Awake in case it was moved. Typically, you want to initialize this during editor time to reduce initializing time.
Texture2D	If Shape mode is Round, provide the Texture2D that will be used to render the water.
Material	If Shape mode is Round, provide the Material that will be used by the Mesh Renderer.
Amplitude	The maximum height of the wave.
Frequency	Dictates the number of waves in the water.
Speed	How quickly a wave moves across the water.
Spring	The force exerted on the water when interacting with the player.
Damping	How quickly the spring force dissipates.
Turbulence	This adds random noise into the water, creating a chaotic effect.
Random Current	This will change the direction of the speed at intervals specified by this value. This value is randomized slightly to add unpredictability.
Create	Once all the settings are chosen, press this button to create the body of water. Anytime you change the water’s position or a setting, recreate the water to enact the changes.

Body	For Square mode.
Top	The color of the water line.
Thickness	The thickness of the water line.
Taper	The wave’s water line will be thicker at its crest, and thinner at its trough.
Middle	The color at the middle of the water.
Bottom	The color at the bottom of the water.
Phase	The bottom of the water has wave like motion as well. Specify the phase of this wave.
Offset	Offset the position of the bottom wave.
Speed	How quickly the bottom wave moves across the water.
