Something about weather!

Well....I use this trigger in my map

• Environment - Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect Ashenvale Rain (Heavy)

and for unknown reasons it doesn't work.I have disabled Global Weather and i want to use different types of wether in different regions.Anyone knows what am i doing wrong?

Easy, create a region, go to the Region palette and right-click the region. Click "Edit Region Properties" and check the box that says "Weather Effect" and then choose desired effect!

Also if you want to change the weather with triggers read this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ob-questions-on-ai-weather-and-heroes-143006/

Wow,thx a lot...this saved me from having to make the weather with triggers.That helped,so +rep to you!

looks like you have found an answer but I'll still say this though if you just want to know...

after creating a weather effect you need to enable it via another action I think it is Environment->Enable(Last created weather effect)....

If you want to use more special effects at the same time you can set them to variables, and then turn them on/off.

Thx guys,but actually you're able to change the weather into each region without using triggers.And in the trigger i used i had set only Map Initialization,that's probably why it didn't work.And yes you could this with variables too,but why going to make such a simple thing from the long way?
Thx anyway

the only problem with setting it in the region property and not with triggers is that you cannot turn them off... but if you do not intend of turning them off after some event then its better to just use the region property box in the WE...

I think that's what he's trying to say above with the "I only set the Event as Map Initialization".

But yes, if you do want varying weather then you must do it in Triggers but if you just 1 weather effect for different zones (like in an RPG) then using Region Properties is best.
