Hey guys,
I wanted to make a "wheres my water" mini game map on minecraft pe pixelart, so if u break a dirt block, the water will flow on until u reach the end... 1 problem though, how do u make water flow in a straight line without blocks supporting it on both sides? I need to know this because if there are blocks on both sides, then it will now be possible to break the dirt blocks... Any ideas?! If u answer this constructively i will give u +1 reputation point and give u an early release of the first level b4 i post it on the forums

I don't think there is a way. Water is coded to spread out. Unless it has a hole nearby to go to. Let me try this out

EDIT: If you place a water source block, and there is a hole in a 8 block radius, the water will go to the hole.
like this

What Rb did is the only way for the water to go in a straight line
Because it is coded that way

What I suggest is placing the map at an angle so it will always go down the quickest way, which is forwards

I am guessing he wants the player to be able to walk on the map

What do you mean by walking on the map?

Like on the game board where the water is, to walk on it to access the whole thing

No, I made it a vertical pixel art of an iphone and inside, I put a wheres my water level... so a player uses a tower next to the vertical pixel art to navigate next to the "screen" so they can break dirt blocks... if u want, I can send u guys the link as well so u can see for urself... it is still in progress though
Thing is, I want the user to be able to break dirt blocks and the water cannot flow on either side 
kinda confusing... i know)

I think it would go to the nearest hole.
