Ok Chris, that must be why I saw someone who made a new contact. I blocked it because I thought it was just some spammer. Sorry.

You're going to have to send me a request to be a contact again.

Benny I'm glad you like it. And you're right. You request the position (without an emmiter, don't even know why they were invented

), and then when it's finished with that request, it hits the road!

Xo TwOfAcE oX, thanks.

Yes, it is just a function for each effect.

Hey Uncle Sam, i can't get it to work. I'm trying to create rain and have used the editor to make a decent rain effect and exported it, put the exported code

+ Code Snippet

TurnPrecipitationOn(-250,-250,-200,200,200,100,0.1,1,0,0,2,1,90,0,50,1)

in my level loading code. I get error "Array does not exist or array subscript out of bounds on line 4746". That's this code: StormOn(0)=1 on the first line after the funtion starts.

I have put

+ Code Snippet

rem load effects
gosub LoadEffects

before the main loop and

+ Code Snippet

rem handle dirt smoke
gosub HandleDirtSmoke

rem handle dirt clods
gosub HandleDirtClods

rem handle sparks
gosub HandleSparks

in the loop and all the functions required outside the loop (ofcourse). So what to do?

Ok works now, but only 50%. The rain starts, but only for like a second then it's gone. Like it doesn't produce a new 'batch' so to speak.

btw, im using newton and regular objects as level not matrix or advanced terrain.

Ohhh....hmmm, make a matrix under the world....or...I'll fix it actually.

The rain is stopping because you have no terrain for it to hit to reset. I'll fix it.

EDIT:

Ok, replace the HandlePrecipitation subroutine with this code:

rem handle precipitation
HandlePrecipitation:
   for CSmoke=31501 to 32000
      arraycount=CSmoke-31500

         Snowpositionz#(arraycount)=newzvalue(Snowpositionz#(arraycount),SnowWindDirection#(0),SnowWindSpeed#(0)+rnd(SnowWindVariant#(0)))

            if rnd(500)<=SnowDensity(0)
               Snowpositionx#(arraycount)=SnowStormLocx1#(0)+rnd(SnowStormLocx2#(0)-SnowStormLocx1#(0))
               Snowpositiony#(arraycount)=SnowStormLocy#(0)
               Snowpositionz#(arraycount)=SnowStormLocz1#(0)+rnd(SnowStormLocz2#(0)-SnowStormLocz1#(0))
               Snowing(arraycount)=1
               show object CSmoke
            endif
         endif
      endif
   next CSmoke
return

For the matrix or advanced terrain parameter, type a 3, and the rain will reset when it reaches y-position 0.

Hope it works!

Hey... I know you from the GMC, don't I?

It looks outstanding. I am currently on a guest user, so I can't download, but I will as soon as I can.

Looks great! However, I'm making a space-flight simulator. Can this be used in a zero gravity environment?
