hi
I added rain to my mp map but there is a problem - the rain goes everywhere in my map even in houses and other places such as tunnels etc. How can i fix that?

Try this.

The_Caretaker:

I tried this but it works very strange.
I made (x,y,2000); (finish point x,y,-2050) and there wasnt any change. Then I changed the finish point to -2005 and rain appeared only in some rooms e.g. no rain in the house but rain in the garage next to the house which roof is lower than the house roof.

You need to spawn the efx above the highest point on the z axis, so thats more than likely the roof of your tallest building

I tried but then the rain doesnt appear.
highest point of my map is 2850 so when i spawned the efx at 2900 it didnt appear anywhere.
The lowest point is -510 . I wrote this

pos = player.origin +(x,y,2900) ; 
trace = bulletTrace(pos,pos +(0,0,-550), true, undefined); 

Still nothing. What do i make wrong?

Hi,

use this (works perfect):

main()
{
   level.mapheight = 1000; //over all rooftops
  thread rain();
}
rain()
{
   level._effect["rain"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/rain_heavy.efx");
   level._effect["lightning"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/lightning.efx");

   //lightnings with positions, time (define it for your map) und thunder  
   maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("lightning", (473, 5597, 1207), 25.0);
   maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("lightning", (3614, 4840, 1207), 15.0);
   maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("lightning", (2811, 8271, 1207), 32.0);
   maps\mp\_fx::soundfx("elmthunder", (0, 0, 0));

   while(true)
   {
   players = getentarray("player", "classname");
   for(i=0; i<players.size; i++)
   {
   if (!isAlive(players[i])) continue;
   x = 350 - randomint(700);
   y = 350 - randomint(700);
     //If above the player there is no sky, than no rain
     above = bullettrace( players[i].origin + (x, y, 100), (players[i].origin[0] + x, players[i].origin[1] + y,                     level.mapheight), false, false);
   if (above["fraction"] < .9) continue;
             playfx(level._effect["rain"], above["position"]);
     wait .05;
   }
   wait .05;
   }
}
