A3 Submergible Water with Sloped Underwater Surface

This effect is hard to get perfect (I had a hell of a time) and it might end up glitchy, but it works nonetheless. It will allow the player to submerge into an underwater area which has a sloped floor.

Create some submergible water. Now slope the floor of the below-water sector.

Move the below-water S sprite so it is near the axis line of the slope (the first wall). Turn grid locking off if you want to get the S sprites really close to the axis line (like I did in the image below). Remember to move the above-water S so it's in the same position as the below-water S.

Use Ctrl+PGDN on the below-water S to make it touch the lowest point of the slope.

Now it has a one-in-thirty chance of working in the game! Believe me, this effect really, really, really pissed me off!!! I'm never even touching this effect again. It took me 30 minutes to get it to work properly in the tutorial map.
