A quick weather question...

(Ubiquitous) #1

Hi there, I am working on a map, and I was thinking of some ways that I could add some subtle atmosphere to the map. I was wondering if there was any way to start off a map being overcast, but not raining, and then after a certain objective is completed, and you enter section two in my map (its bisected), it is raining on the other side, like in radar…

You could have it raining in one part of the map and not another by messing with the tracemap, but you can’t turn rain on and off. I’m not sure what effect editing the tracemap would have on mortars, though. I know they use it, but I don’t know exactly how. If rain used one channel and mortars used another, it would be fine.

The atmospheric effects and mortars use the same tracemap channels. You cannot switch the atmopsheric effects on/off either. (Shame really, would have added some nice situations to maps)
