LSL Wiki : llWater

**##[[float]] llWater([[vector]] [[offset]])##**

[[return Returns]] the [[water]] height at the current [[position]] + **##[[offset]]##**.

The water height is the same across the whole [[simulator]], so the **##offset##** is irrelevant. **##offset##** cannot be used to get the water height for a neighboring sim.

This value does not vary with wave motion (if you have ripple water turned on in [[client]] preferences), i.e. it cannot be used to make realistic [[vehicles boats]] that bob with waves. Wave rendering (the water rising and falling) is performed by the client, so everyone is seeing a different version of the water dynamics.

While there is not an ##llOverWater## function to detect if land is above water, this fragment of code works the same way, by using ##[[llGround]]##.

integer OverWater(vector offset)
{
	return (llGround(offset) < llWater(offset));
}
