Sets the height of some or all the water in the game world.

Syntax

bool setWaterLevel ( [float x, float y, float z,] float level )
bool setWaterLevel ( [water theWater], float level )

Required Arguments

• level: the new Z coordinate of the water surface. If x, y and z, or water, are specified, the area of water containing that point or corresponding to that water element is changed. Otherwise, all water in the game world is changed.

Optional Arguments

• x: the X coordinate of the point indicating the water area to change.
• y: the Y coordinate of the point indicating the water area to change.
• z: the Z coordinate of the point indicating the water area to change. This parameter is reserved and is currently ignored, set it to 0.
