I know this is probly a easy one for some but I havent worked with rain in mapping much. but I put rain fx in my map and it only covers a small radius in my map. what settings in the effects editor do I adjust to enlarge the radius. cause at this rate im going to have way too many sets of corodinates to fill my map with rain.

    ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "fx_rain_lght" );
    ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( -4976, 776, 432 );
    ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 270, 0, 0 );
    ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "fx_rain_lght";
    ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;	

	ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "fx_rain_lght" );
    ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( -5792, 1696, 432 );
    ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 270, 0, 0 );
    ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "fx_rain_lght";
    ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;	

Keep repeating with your coordinates.
Btw, How come everyone can get Rain to work but me! lol.
I'm not sure how many entries you can make but I'm sure it's a lot.

u might wanna alter the delay of the rain too.....vary it up a little!

looks more realistic

I never had to add the fx ("fx_rain_lght") just ("rain_light") and open it up in editor to see if it is a looping or oneshot fx.

How do you open an FX in editor, It never works for me?

Launcher is your user interface for easy compiling, lighting, paths, reflections, lighting grids, and loading levels. It also gives easy access to mod tool applications such as the level editor, effects editor, or asset manager.

To get to Launcher browse to your installation directory, then go to "bin" to find Launcher.exe. You may place a shortcut on your desktop by right clicking on the icon for Launcher then going to "Send to" and "Desktop".

so back to the rain fx can anyone tell me what to adjust in the fz editor to make the the coverage area larger?

right now I have 13 sets of corodinates for my rain. and I get errors in my console when I run my map:
FX_ELEM_LIMIT(2048) exceeded-not spawning fx elm

GFX_PARTICLE_CLOUD_LIMIT(256) exceeded- not drawing partical cloud

ok got it working now nevermind
