I prob should've clarified in the video, but I'm not talking about altering the general shape of the beach, I know you can do that by moving the spline points.
I was specifically just talking about how you can't use the sculpting tools on the beach or water.

Literally a life saver, so weird this is not covered anywhere else

[pupernickel]

straight to the point, not speedrunning like other ytubers. very good video, thank you very much!

[EmeraldStudioSweden]

I love you man.. I've searched for two days straight but NO ONE covers this. And this is a main problem for almost anyone starting out with water body ocean in UE5.

[hupfenbauen]

what a save! Have been searching for hours

[ptgidoc]

You SAVED ME A TON OF TIME!
Thank you!

[krevesstcreps]

[StarlightAkari]

I can finally design my dream island getaway! 🤩

Im getting a weird problem where in some areas the water isnt touching the shore and theres a gap...
A question i have is why would someone want to ever have "affects landscape" turned on? Trying to think of a reason but cant come up with one. Seems like it was just put there to irritate newcomers. Lol

Another note is with affects landscape turned off i cant seem for the life of me to get water tool rivers to function right.

hi, i have a problem. When I place the water, the "outside water" is lower than the water zone. or better english the water level from the "water zone" is higher than the "backround water". so I can see trough between the 2 water levels.
(sry when my english is bad xD)

i have prblem if click render movie water lake is not showing how?

[JesseTheGameDev]

I've watched 7 "beach"/"island" tutorials and not a single one of them has addressed the issue like this. Very annoying.

Good morning, Congratulations on your work, I'm on a project where I want to make a hole in the middle of the ocean (water) where the water falls. I managed to adapt, I went up the ocean and put a river at the bottom, do you have a better way of doing this? sorry for my english lol.

[EmaSans-tueg]

Why if I try to do the package with the plugin water I get an error ?

[Celticninja]

its too bad my other problem, (not being able to sculpt and paint landscapes because landscapes too large) overshadows this issue

[lucutes]

dang it still doesn't work, the land just floats between the water

[KING_Esports]

How do I go on details of it it doesnt show for me

[KING_Esports]

I don’t have outliner I have world settings can u help

[FilmMaker]

Finally lmao you have no idea how much a pain in the butt that was

[SnarkpitSam]

I have been battling the damn "GAP" issues since I started learning UE5 for many months. It has destroyed many of my best layers and I have had to delete whole Projects. CANNOT get a straight answer to why, when I fill in the gaps, the ocean just recedes further out and LEAVES MORE GAPS!!! It is infuriating and I cannot find an answer anywhere on the net! I simply seems totally flawed and unfixable! PLEASE FIX THE WATER BODY OCEAN GAPS PROBLEM!
