Have any effect besides looking cool and causing water ripples?

you get to jump out of the water... i'm not really sure what you are asking... the only water effects i remember are the ripple effects...

The spin?

I use it to pick up parts when the plants send them flying in nooks and crannies.

[Theogrin]

Later on, you'll encounter enemies that latch onto you; the spin's good for getting them off.

[2disbetter]

Yeah I'm referring to the spin. I didn't think you could use it to help collect items. Pretty cool.

just updated my video card drivers, there was an update Nov 07 and whoa 

didn't know about the ripples...  to paraphrase Jodi Foster:

Some celestial event. No - no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should've sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea.

This isn't exactly a useful use of it,  but it makes you do a cannonball if you hit the spin key when you're diving into the water.

I smell a mod.

Either that, or my neighbor is using again.

[Alphasoldier]

Heh, stunt mod, that'd be awesome. yes yes yes yes, no freaking clue how to make it.

I already thought of this idea though. =p

[Hiro]

Hah! Stunt mod!

But... with only boosting and spinning readily avaliable, stunts could be hard to think up. We'd probably have to make up new tricks for Naija, like barrel rolling or something.

[Alphasoldier]

And performing songs in the air, and making spins, and much, much more, but I have no clue if the scripting can detect all that. I assume it can detect spinning, the songs, the height, the rotation... kind of, the side you face. How you land in the water...

But my scripting skills aren't as near to make a score system out of that. =p

[Glamador]

Haha...that idea brings me back to Monkey Island 4:  The Secret of Monkey Island...Plank Diving...hilarious.  But I agree that it would be difficult to code a scoring system like that.  I like the idea of singing in the air.  But I think spinning in the air or some such would be better, maybe swooshing from side to side etc.  But it would have to be high for that to work...maybe have permanent Speed +3-5 on or have the dive start from high on a cliff.  You could also score based on multiple forms doing tricks in midair, but at this point I think this is a discussion for the mods forum.

[Alphasoldier]

Hah, yeah, I remember that too, Marco Polo!
I think some sort of function that when you land correctly that your speed goes up, and when you land wrong your speed goes down, untill a limit ofcourse, and then finally you have a huge speed which jumps super high and you can do awesome tricks with.
And spinning is just one thing and doesn't ALWAYS work when out of the water, you also land like a cannonball sometimes. So making circles, singing and high jumps would be it I guess. :/ Maybe also add some platforms so that you can keep up the combo or something. xD Moving platforms would also be nice.
