Rain falling down

[Diana Kennedy]

Has anybody ever tryied to make it rain or snow in your game? If yes, what are the possible solutions?

[Fuzzy]

what i would do is use a large actor, or maybe an infinite actor with several different animations. At certain times, load change the animation to rain or snow, or destroy the actor when not in use.

[Troodon]

Actually I had make a rain effect. It's working by two actors, but I don't know if it is very beautiful. Some times it turns the game slow becouse there is many...many rain-thing at the same time. Do you want that I'll send it to you? Or perhaps in web?

[Diana Kennedy]

ThreeFinger Pete, Oh, I see what you mean. I will try this out.
Tekdino: Yes, If youi could ut a demo on the weeb, that wiould be great.

Yeah, my concern is, if it could be to hard to load. I have huge grapohics and complex animations anyway...

[Troodon]

Here are some rain types:
rain.zip
Notes:

-If you don't like current animations you can change them. I didn't work much for them.
-I forgot to make out of vision->destroy actor->event actor, so you can do it to make the game more rapid

There isn't any DATA directory...

[Diana Kennedy]

Hm, yes I couln't open the ZIP-File. It says error.

[Kodo]

Try to write the code direct in your browser. For me, it works:

[Diana Kennedy]

It doesn't work for me. In no browser.

[Troodon]

I don't understand. For me, it works normally. Are you using winzip and IE5+, Opera 8.0 or Mozilla Firewox.

[Diana Kennedy]

I am using Winzip and Firefox. But I tried with IE5 and it didn't work either.

[Troodon]

I can send it to you by email if you want. What's your email address?

[Diana Kennedy]

This would be very nice.
