How to make water rise via triggering a switch

[MK.exe]

Basically what does title states. The only example i could use to relate to this is the match map, Tidal palace, where the water rises at 45 ish second intervals but i dont want the water to rise based on time, i want it to rise via a swtich.

I had a look at tidial palace to try and have a crack at it my self but i couldn't do it.

I think Linedef type 404: Move Tagged Sector's Ceiling can do what you want. (Tagged sector would be the Control Sector, which in case the one with the Water Linedef)

EDIT: You can use Linedef type 407: Move Ceiling According to Front Texture Offsets too. It's the same thing but the way you set up is different.

DSZ1 and CEZ2 also have similar gimmicks. Try looking at those to get a better understanding.

Thanks guys i understand all of this now but now have come across another problem having to do with Colourmaps.

I made a little hut that homes the button of the rising water but the hut isnt effected by the colourmap when the water rises

I tried fix this my self but i run to ugly ends.

If an FOF casts a shadow, that shadow will override any colormaps above it. (Lighting, including colormaps, is applied top-to-bottom.) If you don't need the hut to cast a shadow, you can just switch it from a normal FOF to a non-shadowcasting FOF to fix your issue.
