[Trigger] Moving weather effect.

Is it possible to make a weather effect follow a unit? Like when a unit casts a spell the snow/rain effect will follow the unit.

By using a timer and the move region action I think it is possible.

I'll try it. Thanks for the response.

Don't forget to remove the region after use with:

• Custom script: Call RemoveRect(udg_Region1)

Otherwise it will leak.

Can I use the rect again if I do that?

lol, no you cannot.

Also, I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but if it's like a special effect, you probably wanna run an if/then/else checking if your guy is still alive, and if not, to turn the weather effect off.
