Move Environment Effects

[slutoi]

Im trying to use some environment effect around one of my unit (snow,rain,light,...) and make the effects move with my unit BUT the only way I found to move them is to remove/create another one. If theres a way to move it plz tell me. Thx for the answers.

I have never tried, but you can move rects. You could have a rect with the desired weather effect following your unit.
I think this should work, but at least you should give it a try.

I cant figure how to move the rect. Im trying to move it with

• Rect - Center (Rect centered at (Position of WeatherAvatar) with size (900.00, 900.00)) on (Position of WeatherAvatar)

but its not working.

You have to do a periodic event say every 0.1 seconds that runs the "center rect at poisition of hero". I don't have WE open right now so I hope that helps xD.

Kidding?

• Region - Center WhateverRegion on WhateverPoint

?​

I think weathher effects are not attached to regions maybe?

I think regions leak and leave behind everything when moved, unless you move them, reapply its functions over and over. It's ridiculous.

I succeed to move my rects but its still not working moving the environment effects. Anyone have another idea to move environment effects?

 

[DrazharLn]

perhaps use sfx?

create sfx at location_var
[where location_var == position of unit you want followed]
Or even:
create sfx at overhead of unit.
I'm sure there are weather models, you just need to find them.

Does this work?

• MoveWeatherEffect
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Environment - Remove WeatherEffectA
    • Region - Center EffectRegion <gen> on Wherever
    • Environment - Create at EffectRegion <gen> the weather effect Rays Of Light
    • Set WeatherEffectA = (Last created weather effect)

instead of a weather effect, why not use special effects?

 

[Dagguh]

How are you going to make a special effect fit more or less a region?​

 

[gavdaman88]

Weather effects don't move, no just where you make them initially. I guess you'd need to destroy and create new ones every so and so seconds, no idea how bad that leaks though.

 

[Dr Super Good]

It should not leak at all. If the write coding is used that is.

I said that in an above post.
