The Weather Man

Brad.G - 1-3-2006 at 07:46 PM

Here is a program to help you add weather to your maps

Click here for picture

The program will allow you to not only add

Rain, Lightning, Thunder, Gusty wind, set the time of day, and the speed which the sky moves at,

it also allows you to set the time that the rain, lightning, thunder, and wind starts, and finishes.

so now at a few clicks of a button, you can create your very own fully controlable weather scenario.



Why not generate a realistic storm!

have the wind start , then shortlyafter the rain starts, then shortly after a clap of thunder, a few minutes later the lightning starts

Brad, thanks for the updated program. But I couldn't get your link to work; it just opened a blank page. However, I did find a link to it in this forum on your web site: http://s2.forumforfree.com/index.php?mforum=godfather&showto...

Brad.G - 3-6-2006 at 08:29 PM

I did da rain lightning tieme an all that but nuffin worked in my map. I renamed it to my map and set it to .wac and all that but nuffin - AnyHelp???

Brad.G - 6-4-2006 at 06:21 AM

quite possibly the time you had set for the events to occur had already passed? , a slight variation in the filename, oppose to the name in the npj? could be one of a few things.

download the new version ( V3 )
and youl find a link to the support forum

cant get AIs to throw grenads,i have tryed 8 differnt ways still dosnt work. what event # do i use and what dose it mean.i have used object to trigger them still no luck.

the utitly work great in all the other fuctions,i love it !!!thank you xxoo

MaStA_PAiN - 9-21-2006 at 09:43 AM

just make a new event like this:

f never() and (Past(1)) then //New Event

ssnAnim(animation for grenade)

then just use the elapse condition

if never() and elapse(10) then //New
Event

that means he'll throw a grenade every 10 seconds. or it might not work because youre useing a default JO guy. not an IC-modified one. the regular JO guys dont have nades i think

MaStA_PAiN - 9-21-2006 at 09:45 AM

and btw, brad, nice util you got here. helped me out alot so i wouldnt have to hand-make the rain conditions or use the rain conditions in nile:)

we can get them to start at like 10 to 15 seconds at the begging of game the problem we are haveing is setting a trigger to start them at a later time it asks (how do you want to trigger the AI so they begin to throw the grenades?) and we try to use this command(By a player killing/destroying an enemy or object) we try to sit it up so when we blow a door and go in to a room they would start to throw flash bangs and grenades but so far no luck and we did use the ssn number of the door being bowen and right across from where you put the ssn number it says (Event number) what is that?? what do we put there ?? and when we use the time delay to start it and try to kill the ememy to stop them from throwing the grenades that does not work eather are we doing some then wrong ???????????????here is a copy of the wac file we where useing
