[Trigger] Noob question

[Big Dub]

Ya, I'm making a map and am having trouble making weather effects.
I need the entire map to be Dalaran shield. But not the entire game, so I can't have a region with weather effect in it.
How would I do this?
I have tried it with triggers...

• ...
  • Environment - Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect Dalaran Shield
  • Set Weather = (Last created weather effect)
  • Environment - Turn Weather On
• ...

But it didn't work.

If you want the Dalaran Shield weather to be over the entire map, then go to Scenario > Map Option. From there, check the "Use Global Weather" option, and the select Dalaran Shield.

... Thats not going to solve the problem. That will only make it appear in the map editor anyway (At least I believe that is what it does). I need to be able to turn it on and off as I please too.

Set the weather for your regions you don't want it in as "No Weather".

Now if you mean that the Shield isn't coming up, post the entire trigger by going to "Copy in Text" and using the [trigger ] [/trigger ] tags.

Yea the shield is not coming up. Those are all the triggers I use that have anything to do with it. The rest from that trigger have to do with my cinematic.

Ok clearly I'm not painting a clear enough picture.
In my cinematic a mage is talking, then he runs to a power generator and casts a spell. Then the shield is supposed to turn on over the entire map. The shield does not, however, turn on.

Dunno, but do you use Map init, or elapsed time is 0.00?
Try Elapsed Time = 0.00

Like I said before:

Post the whole trigger, not just the actions.

Try placing it in a region. Make the region the entire map.

• Environment - create at Region001 the effect Daralan shield
• Set weather = (last created weather effect)
• ...

If not, I'm not sure what to do, but why do you turn on a weather effect after you created it on a map?

 

[En_Fuego]

The idea behind weather effects is that you're supposed to create them at map initialization and then activate them in a later trigger.
However, in most cases, people just do it all at once, which really isn't a problem.
That's why I'm guessing this guy messed something up in the events/conditions or he messed something up in another trigger.

And I'm not sure if you can have 2 weather effects at the same time in the same region. So you will have to turn off any pre-existing weather effects I think.
