Triggering Weather

[Moon Lord Hawkeye]

Ok, let's skip the intros and cut to the chase, shall we?

For a map i'm making, i'm trying to create a trigger system (prefferably with GUI) that will allow the game to randomly change the weather effects on the map every six minutes.

Anyways, i happen to know that wha ti want to do involves variables, however, i am unsure how to execute the trigger, while making sure the the previous weather effect is not repeated.

I hope to have three weather effects:

Rain (Light)
Rain (Heavy)
Mist (Heavy)

In addition to Rays of Light during the day, and Rays of Moonlight during the night.

If you can help, i would be most greatful.

I don't know myself, but look into

and you can see how they did it.

It doesn't really go in depth, which i something i want. I mean, it goes in depth yes, but i don't want all the month and integers and crap... if they can be avoided.

Do this to set-up the variables

• Event
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
• Condition
• Action
  • Set Weather[1] =
  • Set Weather[2] =
  • //And so on...
  • Set WeatherCount = (how many weather's you defined)
  • Set Weathers = null

then to change weather create a trigger like this

function Weather takes nothing returns nothing
       local integer Random = GetRandomInt(1, udg_WeatherCount)
       loop //This will check if the weather to be used is the same as the current one
           exitwhen Weathers != Weather[Random]
           set Random = GetRandomInt(1, udg_WeatherCount)
       endloop
       //Here disable the existing weather effec
       //I'm not sure of the function so hopefully you have TESH
       call DisableWeather(Weathers) //Again I'm not sure of this function
       call EnableWeather(Weather[Random])
       set Weathers = Weather[Random]
endfunction

//===================

function InitTrig_Weather takes nothing returns nothing
   call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 720, true, function Weather)

K, Variables YAY!

... Is that JASS? :Shock:

Here's hoping i can use what you've given me.. thanks BTW.

Uh... would there be any way to change that other part... no JASS? i have absolutly NO idea how to use that... shows you how novice a triggerer i am

you can just copy paste the JASS code... (If the weather functions are right) I'll check that later.. sorry.. I used JASS because we can only use integer loops in GUI (For Loop Integer A, blah blah)...

Oh, that's no problem... i just have no experience using GUI, and even so, very little of that. I just want to have the easiest time posible polishing my uh... melee map, the one that's going to use this anyways...

+Rep for the help, BTW
