Weather....

[Ghost]

i was thinking...about wheater....and i wonder if anyone can tigger it for me....let the weather change randomly beetwen snow storm....wheater storm+rain.....fog.....sunny weather....and in snow let the snow rain and tiltest change to northrend........wheater storm+rain let rain and thunder bolts cast evrywhere on map and if hit any target let it dmg by 200 hit points...also each time thunder hit let the camera strugle?......in fog u know...and in suuny...normal weather but let someone make "sun"....is this possibly?

[Max]

So....
1. It is possible to change weather in trigger editor anyhow and randomly (it should be, last time i did it it didn't work, the weather did not change at all, but it was long ago)
2. It is possible to adjust fog so it falls smoothly and fades also.
3. It is imposstible to change titlest during the game in WE.
4. The lightning and thunder bolts can be done...
5. It's possible to make the camera struggle (shake and fade in white also)
6. It's impossible to make sun and clouds (apart from sky texures) only as a models--> units or doodads but that's too complicated.

Like that?

[Ghost]

hmm...
3. It is imposstible to change titlest during the game in WE. i mean terrain not tiltest:P
anyway i like that

[Ghost]

so what??do you will make it??

[Max]

well, im quite busy right now but when i have time i can do it... but it takes a lot of time....

actually can't you do it yourself?

[Ghost]

no i can't.....i'm not so good at tiggering...also i know how to make sun(maybe)...just make wisp yellow and make him as dodad and put him somwhere in map(and make it bigger)

[Max]

I'm working on it actually, and I'll do it.


1. I'll do weather change randomly (snow, heavy snow, rain, heavy rean, ...) - but I'll only do 2 or 3 weather effects and you'll find in my triggers how to make as many as you want and as randomly as you want (EITHER 80% for rain and only 10% for snow, 10% clear OR 50% snow, 40% heavy snow, ... - you'll set up).

2. I'll do fog but please specify me if you want the fog fall smoothly or at once from no-fog to big ist. Also I can do 2 stages of fog (no-fog and fog-you'll know how to specify color etc...). If you want more fogs 3,4,5 and also fall them soothly it's too comlicated. But I'm really not sure about this, maybe a'll do all that, but first I'll do the weather, then I'll turn to fog.

3. I won't do tile change or anything, it's too complicated to change it on the map and you woulnd't be able to change them back to original tiles, or you would need many varibles, well maybe I could do it... But I won't it would look terrible... I know....

4. I will do lightning (sound + bolt +white fade + damage), only in rain storms of course. I could make the camera shake when the lightning strucks, but I'll have to try that out.

5. I won't make the sun, but if you want you can do it yourself using the wisp method, as you like.

I'm already working on the 1. weather, but the whole process will take me some time.
;D I think I'll find some use in it also...

When you use Generic Sky, there is a very nice sun there...

[Ghost]

is there possibly to change Sky Texture In Game??(let i guess....not)...anyway i will use it as standart...about list of things that u will do etc..... i like it...very much.....i will rise your karma twice or even more time for it<joke>....i apriciate what u doing.....

and about that :
"2. I'll do fog but please specify me if you want the fog fall smoothly or at once from no-fog to big ist. Also I can do 2 stages of fog (no-fog and fog-you'll know how to specify color etc...). If you want more fogs 3,4,5 and also fall them soothly it's too comlicated. But I'm really not sure about this, maybe a'll do all that, but first I'll do the weather, then I'll turn to fog."

well.....if u can let the fog appear like in real world and like in real world first ligh fog then have....and in rain and snow...let it decrease movment speed(ppls moving slower in snow on in rain;) ) anyway...u will have your own place in credits log in my map for that:)

[Max]

It IS possible to change sky during the game.

And about the fog, I don't know what you mean but I can do the fog 'fall' and 'fade' slowly (in 30 seconds, for example). For your better understanding SURELY play mission from Reign of Chaos, Orc Campaign, Chapter Four, The Spirits Of Ashenvale, play that some time, and you will see fog effects I mean.

And do you mean movements speed of all units? If yes, I'm not sure if it's possible to do it that dynamic like you want...
I'm really not sure, I'll have to look at it...

[Max]

I have completed phase 1, so that the weather effects changes randomly.
I used 25% for Rain Light, 25% for Rain Heavy, 25% Northerend Blizzard, 25% clear. You can change it if you wish, and add more also. There is a small problem that when it's already snowing and when it comes to change, and that 25% of Blizzard is rolled, it's possible that the snowing will stop for a 0.00000000001 sec, and it will start snowing again. The result is that the weather doesn't change in that case at all. It's a very small problem and I think it won't be a problem at all.

Anyhow, you'll see what I'm talking about if you see it, if you want I can send you the map with just these weather triggers so you can check it out how's it. But only if you want, then tell me a way how to send you the map.

i will wait for final version:)....u great max
anyway if u wanna soend map to someone or something and u don't know how...go to www.megaupload.com or www.rapidhsare.de and upload it there:)

[Max]

Well, if you read my 2 posts above, tell me this:

1. Does that problem with the same weather changing to the same weather matter? (I hope not, the weather just sops for a little moment when it coninues)

2. About the fog (and lightning), tell me
EITHER you want the fog to fall parallelly, that means that there will be fog not depending of weather so that the fog can be in ANY WEATHER and no matter what weather it is, so I can do fog by another set of triggers.
OR you want the fog to be ONLY in some weather types (not in clear weather, only in heavy rain, for example), so I can do fog in the same triggers as I did weather effects. (example: there will be lightning only when it rains.)

[Ghost]

well.....1 thing...id dosen't matter....
and 2nd....maybe let fog be after rain??actually...do what u want and u think that is better;) i give u freehand

btw. u good terrainger or know any good terrainer?
