Weather Changes

[GloryBlade]

I've been trying to implement a random weather change system for my map and if i begin the map with a weather effect initialized my triggers work correctly in removing it, but they can never seem to initialize a new one. The "Environment - create at [location (i used entire map and entire playable area)] the weather effect [effect here]" line just never works!

If anyone knows anything about this problem then please help me.

What is strange about weather effects, is that they seem not to show over large areas. You may need to divide your map into smaller regions, then try.

Ahh ok, thank you! But could you please explain to me how to "divide my map into smaller regions" i'm very new to trigger manipulation and i don't want my map leaking all over the place, so if you could point me to a tutorial or just do a bit of explaining i'd really appreciate it!

I can guess that i need to make locations, and make a loop triggering the weather for each location, is that right?

Region Help

Go to "New Palette" - Regions. create a few and manipulate them to cover the map (and probably rename them).

You could start by making a region about a quarter of the size of your map and see if the weather works there. If it does work just make four regions each covering a quarter of the map and then applying the trigger to each individually.
If this doesn't work try more smaller regions.

I asked this very question. Make sure you search before you ask.

It got solved in the end I think.

Random weather

i've tried making the area only one screen in size and i still get no weather.

Bah! I looked! I really did! i couldn't find anything though. thank you for bringing this to my attention, i will only post further if your thread doesn't solve my problem.

EDIT: Problem solved! I was simply missing the trigger to enable the weather effect that i had just created. It seems foolish to me now. Thank you a ton Gilles! +rep for being helpful and polite about my redundant question!

I apologize for posting a previously answered question. I'll look much harder next time.

It's okay. The search engine isn't perfect.

I did the exact same thing you did.
