meshwaternoisebuoyancyobject position
Getting Y position at a specific point
hello! I'm currently working on a water and buoyancy system - I have a working water solution but I need the Y (height of my waves) coordinate at my "floaters" (objects I use to calculate my buoyancy) position, however, I wasn't able to do it myself (script below is my water surface creator - original script from catlike coding, but I modified it a bit).
