Hi I have a small problem that looks not good when the bot is running.
Its the problem that when my bot runs his route through the water he his swimming like a dolphine.
the head flips out of the water and back into, out, into etc. So I need the information how I can change the angle of the up/down view of the bot.

My idea: at a waypoint in the water I want to change the angle of the bot view for some degrees down, that the bot swims scince this time a little bit untder the water surface unitl he reaches the edge.

As far as I know the bot does not affect up and down direction. It should swim exactly the same if you moved through the water manually using the arrow keys.

ok I fixed it because there was a distance problem with the auto camera view change. A rock in the water changed the height of the bot in the water, so it swimed directly on the water surface which implicated the dolphine sytle swimming... Now without passing this poinbt the bot hold his position under the water surface.

The bot actually discards the Y axis (up and down), so swimming for long periods of time is not recommended as you could possibly drown.

I don't know. I haven't played the game in over a year. I thought you would die if you stayed under water for too long.

You can stay under water for as long as you want. Although you can die if you swim too far from shore into the ocean.
