Waterfalls inside a pool

[StinaRina]

Hi everyone. First time creating a thread here, but I found myself a wee bit over my head.

I have a tiered swimming pool and was trying to make it look like water is flowing from the top tier to the lower tier (a waterfall).

I used the fog emitters that Craggle mentions in his waterfalls for Ambitions tut, but not finding anything that simulates water falling.

Anyone have any ideas?

p.s. I've tried all the different fountain heads with no success.

Try the fog emitters with "waterfall_1_short" without quotes and place it 4 or 5 tiles back from where you want the waterfall to be. I found a very good post from gogalor that has a rar file for downloading loads of effects.

If the gap between teirs is short (like 4-8ish clicks) try using the following code shower fx ....I can't remember if there is a space there or not, try both.

That said, I'm not sure why you're not having any luck with the waterfall codes....are you looking at the effects in live mode because you can't see them in build/buy? Plus, you need to place the emitter quite far back and above where you want the water effect to actually show.

Here is a picture of the pool. As you can see, the top tier is built into the foundation of the house, while the lower tier is built into the ground.

It's not an inclined pool with CFE used inside the pool to cause the tiered effect, but actually two different pools.

Thank you so very much! That code worked for the effect I wanted.

I have a ton of showerfx codes lining the front of the top pool (had to remove the lower pool and put in a foundation so I had a place to put them). I then have a waterfall_2_short in the very back of the top pool and a waterfall_2_shortsplash in the bottom of the lower pool.
