Hi...i go straight to the point...
In my scene there's a puddle.When the main character walks above it,the puddle should animate.I think i should create a new region,and when the character reaches that region the puddle should animate..something like that...but i'm not quite sure of the way i have to do that,or how the region script should look like...
If somebody could help,I'd be very very grateful!

well, the principle is really easy. The realization (gfx) is imo not that easy because of the realistic outcome.

Anyway -> create a region (not region entity!) and attach a script to it. The region should encompass the puddle.

Then use

on "ActorEntry"
{
}

and

on "ActorLeave"
{
}

in the attached script to track down when the player is inside and when he stepped out.

Hope that this'll get you started.

Project Joe demo uses something like this. It utilizes the events triggered by animation frames, and every time the foot hits the water, it creates a dynamic entity with a splash animation. Similar to the surface dependant footsteps, but a little more complex.
