WaterBodyKind

Remarks

Unreal's five actors as one enum ([35 § D6](../../docs/plan/35-water.md#d6-a-water-body-is-a-spline-and-a-profile-and-there-is-no-new-spline)). They differ in three things — whether the spline closes, whether the surface has one height or many, and whether the body adds water or removes it — and none of those is worth a type.

⚠ Island is the same mechanism with the sign flipped, which is Unreal's Invert Shape property promoted to the thing it actually is. An island is not a second kind of actor; it is a body whose coverage subtracts.

Fields and properties (5)

• Ocean

  A closed spline marking a shoreline, with water extending past it to the horizon.

• Lake

  A closed spline, one height for every point.

• River

  An open spline. The height varies along it, and it has a direction.

• Custom

  A closed spline standing for a mesh — a pool, an aqueduct, a ship's hold.

• Island

  A closed spline that removes water and raises the ground.
