I have followed the tutorials, but I keep getting a script compile error and when I look in the console I can't seem to find the error. So I am going to post my code and if someone could please take a look I would really appreciate it. Or if someone else can show me another way to have rain. Thanks.

thanks that seemed to work. couple more things.

1) It rains inside buildings. Help with that please.

2) How do I add lightning?

Thanks...

(TUTORIAL).. How to add Rain/Thunder & Lightning to your Maps. (CoD4)

really old tutorial: Adding Thunder and Lightning (CoD1)

sorry, link was to page 4 of the thread:

http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-75472-0.html

i just full clip the roofs and it wont rain in side "easy way for me"
as for lightning in weather for us dummys there is a gsc copy it from mine add were you want it to go in the lines
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx('lightning",(000, 000, 000), 3)
first 3 are where ,the last number is how often

i tried the full clip it did not work??? and none of those tutorials are for cod2, will they still work???
