This article only applies to the {{srcmp|4}} SDK.

By default, the 06/15/2009 Source SDK update includes source code that makes several calls to swimming animations that do not yet exist with the current {{hl2dm|3.1}} player animations. As a result, whenever water goes above a player's waist, the models go into their reference pose.

== The Fix ==
Here's how to fix this issue:

In {{path|multiplayer_animstate|cpp}}:


In the {{Code|highlight=c|bool CMultiPlayerAnimState::HandleSwimming( Activity &idealActivity )}} function, 

Change:
<pre>idealActivity = ACT_MP_SWIM;</pre>
...to...
<pre>idealActivity = ACT_MP_RUN;</pre>

Now whenever water goes up to a player's waist, the code will call for the {{hl2dm|3.1}} run animation, which is a good alternative because it already exists and makes the player look like they are swimming and wading through the water.
