is it possible to have an object move up and down on wave crests and troughs without moving the object yourself?
Thanks
Just, just make the object a vertex parent of a face.
Select the object that will follow the wave and then select the wave (holding shift, the wave mesh is the Active object).
Tab in edit mode
Select a face that is right under the object that will follow the wave
Ctrl-P (make vertex parent).
Done

If the object is vertex-parented to a face it will move to follow the normal of the face. However, if you vertex-parent it to a single vert it will move up and down only.

thanx,
i know this may sound stupid, but how do i select the face in edit mode. (sry) :-?
Select the 3 or 4 vertices at the corners.
