Random Weather

[Dest]

Is there a way I can make a random weather to happen and how do you detect the current weather so I can make actions?

You create all weather effects and set them to a variable, then disable them all on map initialization.

Err I don't understand?

It would be nice if you could tell what these variables are based on. Also, how do you detect a weather if it is happening?

What the variables mean.


Variable number 1

weathereffectVariableArray

that is your main variable, it is called weather variable found at the end of your variable list.

when you make that variable there is something called array, set that to 3

now when you set the variable just follow his code and put a number [1] in ur first weather [2] in ur 2nd weather and [3] in your third weather

Variable number 2

weatherINDEX

This is a integre variable, used to called random weather effects.

As for your 2nd part of the question, u detect weathers by seening the effect on map xD

if you meant how do you show it as a text to other players?
well if you look at the trigger, u have already set it with ur strings
string [1] = rain.
and when your 2nd variable WeatherIndex, picks a number say [1], ur triggers would show rain.

hope this helped.

You misunderstood my 2nd question. What I mean how do I detect the weather by triggers so that I can make actions. Get it?

Thanks for question 1 though.

If you're using the code that he posted, then just check what the value of weatherINDEX is. If it's 1, it means it's raining. If it's 2, it means... etc. :thup:
