How would I make water rise and fall continuously?

I'm sure I've played in maps that have done this, I just can't seem to remember which wads to open up. I would like it if someone could explain how or refer me to a map that does this.

You need to tag a continuous ceiling mover to a water FOF, which is tagged to the sector where you want water to rise and fall.

Check the wiki for the specific linedef numbers, since I don't remember them off-hand.

Jazz, you can leave now. :(

Tide is done with floating platforms. Learn how to make one of those, and make it use water.

They're both right. The floating platform method is the traditional method of moving water, while continuous movers can be used for just top/bottom of the block or for different speeds.

Its not like I gave bad advice. =/

Both methods produce almost exactly the same effect. Personally, I used a ceiling mover on my lava CTF to more or less make the speed of rising and falling lava variable based on where it was in the cycle.
