Tracker

Water state for tagged instances (OceanFloat, OceanTrack) and every player character, updated each frame on whichever side you ask from. The transitions fire the signals on [Ocean]: EnteredWater, ExitedWater, WentUnderWater, WentAboveWater. Inside an OceanDry region nothing counts as water.
