So when I tested it, the light rain came on, no rain sound. Then the lightning came on with the thunder sound, but no heavy rain. wtf? Any ideas?

Try, instead of turning it on, run it. And for lightning dont use any event. Also, for ur if/then/else, at the else, u dun have to turn it off, because it was nver turned on at all. Plus if u put it tht way, its doing.

If/then/else
Checks for condition,
if true does actions, else do action
After doing the actions, check for another condition
then do action if true,
else blah blah blah.
U shld put it
Check for condition,
if true turn on,
else check for another conditon, true do wad
Leave else blank. Hope I helped, if its unclear, u nid only to ask. :thup:

yea im a bit confused....Ill cuninue working on it....but heres my question, wouldnt I need to turn off light rain if heavy rain gets turned on??

I'm not all that into the weather part of the triggers, but I think it wise to keep your current trigger. Turning them off when not used, and turning on the one that is used.

As for the sound, you might wanna use another action to play sound. Instead of attaching it to a point, just use the "Sound - Play", that tends to work easily

 

[Deathspade]

Heres what I cant get, why does the thunder and lightning play, but not the heavy rain?

 

[Deathspade]

no ideas?

 

[Baltazhar]

Hmm, only guess I have is that your Rain might be music, and needs to be played with a different action? If I recall correctly, there is some "Music - Play" actions.

Try giving those a go.

I don't have WE with me atm, so I can't help much.
I do know that I made a similar weather system for one of my maps once, though. -You can download and take a look at the triggers if you like (it's not protected.)

Map can be found here.

I have created a micro map to test. And after long time fixing stupid bugs I think i make it. Another problem is that now i only have RoC version, so some triggers could be "upgraded" and/or merged.

the system is very simple:

Every random time the game check and change rain style.
There are 3 status: no rain, light rain and heavy rain. If the previuos status is the same that new status, change wont happen.

Also, every random time a lightning (in light & heavy rain) or a thunder (no rain) appear.

If this isnt that you wanted, tell me and I will try something different.


I am uploaded the map to Rapidshare, I dont know if this is allowed (sorry for that!)

The map is totally editable and all triggers have little explanations. Enjoy!

Feedback is welcome


PD: Sorry for my english


EDIT: There is a Variable called "Rain" that is useless, but i forgot revome it.
