If there would be a diving animation to dive into water, then also when you simply jump of the roof of a building you will dive with your head down, isn't it? Or is it like possible to detect wether you are above water or not?
That's what i want to ask, Johny Obliv.
This seems like it could be pretty cool.
@Johny Obliv/Vintra - I believe CDM_ indicated that you would have to hold down a key to turn your jump anim into a dive anim. I think that may be the only way to do it- even with OBSE, I don't think there's a way to detect if you're over water, or "about" to dive into water.
I am working with the animation, as much as with the problem of the player detecting if there is water below or not. So far there has been little success, but I intend to somehow make a "sonar" that recognizes what is below the player in a fraction of a second. If not otherwise, I'll make an activator box over every deposit of water so that the player switches to the dive animation when in touch with the box

lol
As you can see, the animation needs fixing, and the script to call it came a little later than I'd wanted
