[SOLVED!]"Water Monster" disappears when being spawned!

[Radical Batz]

So I have this room with a water area and water plane of course which doesn't collide and wanted to make a water monster appear after picking up a certain key. Then when entering that area, the water monster appears to spawn with the sound and music as usual but then at that second the water monster disappears.

Is it because it falls trough he floor or something cause this is what it looks like, I made it stand on the floor.

Spoiler below!

Does it matter how big the water level is, it's isn't that big as you can see in the pic.

IIRC, the Water monster will only move when/where there are assigned pathnodes for it.

IIRC, the Water monster will only move when/where there are assigned pathnodes for it.

But there are already path-nodes for him to follow, are you sure you saw the image?

[Romulator]

I mean, have you assigned them in script?

Yes!

Just looking at Frictional Games' water monster map (Old Archives), there is a water area surrounding the map. Do you have that as well?

If that's there, then I got no idea myself.

Actually I already have a water area but this thread should be closed now, since I decided not to use the water monster anymore, got a new idea. So yeah, but thnx for helping me tough.

Ask a Moderator to CLOSE the tread...
OR
Simply add SOLVED, so ppl wont get in here and the tread will get out of sight soon.
