Checking if coordinates are near water

[SparkzZ]

I want to know if a specific coordinate is near water,

I can't think of a method that can do that.

Thanks in advance

There's no one like that, I think. Just take coordinates and use getDistanceBetweenPoints3d

[SparkzZ]

That wouldn't work as there are many water sources and their area could be huge and distance between points won't be as accurate as I want it to be..

also I know there isn't a function that achieves that easily, am asking for a method or and idea that may accomplish what I need,

actually I myself had idea of test lines against water from all directions but figured that won't work too because there may be obstacles in the ways of the lines.

Colshapes are elements right? Put a colsphere on the player and use IsElementInWater to check whether the colsphere is hitting water.

Why attaching them to the player? Why not create them on water zones ? :v

How you can create colshape for each water zones?

I think it's a bad idea.

The best way like what Tails said.

The player doesn't fit on SparkZ requirements,

he clearly said that he needs to know if a coordinate is near water,

not if a player is near water.

sorry i didn't noticed that .

i thought he wants know if the player near the water.

No problem, all happy

Wouldn't work, isElementInWater doesn't work with colshapes.

As far as I tried it only works with players and peds.

I guess I resolved it, I took the coordinate and tested it against water from all directions and to ensure there is no obstacles I added 500 to the z value.

I am still testing it to make sure that it is 100% accurate, but as far it seems working well.

Which method have you used?
