This new map is an indoor map, and is supposed to resemble the inside of a shopping mall.

I got the basic layout done, but I need some ideas to make the gameplay really intuitive.

Its a big map, so vehicles will be everywhere.

Could somebody point me to some mall-looking textures,
or maybe a good working fountain model for the center?

Just brainstorming here....

Your best bet is probably with a custom static mesh for the water or a shader effect. You could try using emitters but I think they would be better for "water spray" than for the actual flowing water.

Good idea Wail --

Would you happen to know how to make a custom static mesh that moves constantly and renders all shiney like water?

I think I may try some emitters in series, pointing downward....

Here's the screenshots--

I've got a good pooling water effect now -- but none flowing over the sides of the fountain.
