Weather effects

[PoopBrainEK]

I am looking to make a trigger that causes random weather event that are based on lets say 3 specific weather types in a selected Reagen, like say in reagen 1 I want it to randomly snow/light snow/blizzard at random times with a calm period in between

you would use somthing like this

• timer
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start random_time as a One-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds

• random weather
  • Events
    • Time - random_time expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Weather_Random_Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
    • Countdown Timer - Start random_time as a One-shot timer that will expire in (Random real number between 30.00 and 120.00) seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Weather_Random_Integer Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Environment - Create at Region 000 <gen> the weather effect Northrend Snow (Light)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Weather_Random_Integer Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Environment - Create at Region 000 <gen> the weather effect Northrend Snow (Heavy)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Weather_Random_Integer Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Environment - Create at Region 000 <gen> the weather effect Northrend Blizzard
      • Else - Actions

This is a much cleaner way to do it:

• Random weather
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: loop
    • Set Weather_Random_Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Weather_Random_Integer Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Environment - Create at Region 000 <gen> the weather effect Northrend Snow (Light)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Weather_Random_Integer Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
            • Environment - Create at Region 000 <gen> the weather effect Northrend Snow (Heavy)
          • Else - Actions
            • Environment - Create at Region 000 <gen> the weather effect Northrend Blizzard
    • Set Weather_Effect = (Last created weather effect)
    • Environment - Turn on Weather_Effect
    • Wait - (Random real number between 30.00 and 120.00) seconds
    • Environment - Remove Weather_Effect
    • Custom script: endloop

    • Custom script: endloop

So will this make it keep doing it or is it a once off?
Edit: Am going to try it now, wish me luck.

Yep that will keep changing the weather every 30-120 seconds.

ok cant seem to find where to make "Set Weather_Random_Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)"

 

[Bribe]

Weather_Random_Integer is an integer variable, (Random integer) is found in the "arithmatic" (or is it "math") category.

Weather_Random_Integer is an integer variable, (Random integer) is found in the "arithmatic" (or is it "math") category.

ok weird, i have neither of those category's....
Edit: any chance you could make a testmap with the trigger?

 

[Adiktuz]

neither of those?

First, make the integer variable on the variable editor
Next, create a new action -> general -> Set variable
Next, select your integer variable on the left side and then click the right side
Then, you would see the Random Integer thing on the drop down list

 

[PoopBrainEK]

ok managed to make the variable and make it loop light snow.....doesnt seem to create the other two weather effects....i must be doing something wrong lol

 

[Adiktuz]

post the triggers that you used?

 

[PoopBrainEK]

post the triggers that you used?

How do i do that? /feelslikenoob

 

[Adiktuz]

On your trigger editor, click the trigger, then right click at the name of the trigger above the events part, then choose copy as text then

["TRIGGER"]PASTE THE TEXT HERE["/trigger"] without the ""

 

[PoopBrainEK]

• weather
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: loop
    • Set Weather_Effect[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)] = Weather_Effect[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)]
    • If (True Equal to True) then do (Environment - Create at gen reagion <gen> the weather effect Northrend Snow (Light)) else do (If (True Equal to True) then do (Environment - Create at gen reagion <gen> the weather effect Northrend Snow (Heavy)) else do (Environment - Create at gen reagion <gen> the weather effect Northrend Blizzard))
    • Set Weather_Effect[(1 + 3)] = (Last created weather effect)
    • Environment - Turn (Last created weather effect) On
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Environment - Remove Weather_Effect[0]
    • Custom script: endloop

 

[Adiktuz]

huh? that trigger looks messy and so erroneous... and TRUE is always true so it would really only create the first one...

just copy Bribe's trigger...

Thats what i started doing but then aparently it turned into tht mess, any chance i could get a testmap made with the desired trigger?
