the search for func_rain not helped me...

i know there is a func_rain
but isnt in entity.def of 2.4.2 nexuiz version
i want use but i dont know parameters

pls help me
thank u

From SVN entities.def

Code: Select all

/*QUAKED func_rain (0 .5 .8) ?
This is an invisible area like a trigger, which rain falls inside of.
-------- KEYS --------
velocity: falling direction (should be something like '0 0 -700', use the X and Y velocity for wind)
cnt: sets color of rain in the Quake palette (default 12 - white)
count: adjusts density, this many particles fall every second for a 1024x1024 area, default is 2000
*/

thank u a lot [z] i will try very soon

Note that rain falls under the brush, not inside its area.

Really? I didn't know that.

i have not rain ;(

i used func_rain on a brush
with
count 1600
velocity 0 0 -700

and i have
cl_particles "1"
cl_particles_quality "0.500000"
cl_particles_rain "1"

in what im wrong?

i use nexuiz 2.4.2 (sdl) and gtk radiant 1.5

I don't think this is correct. Take a look at Ruiner.

i have not rain under brush and
i have not rain inside its area and
i have not rain when i play ruiner...

Are particles turned on in your Nexuiz?

i think yes are turned on

no in ruiner i have rain! (when i play online i have cl_particles 0)

but in my map i have not rain with cl_particles 1

i have this in gtkradiant (now i have copied the func_rain settings by ruiner) but nothing changed

Hmmm alright, then it's both . All I know is on whizard I was able to just do a block ~20qu high at the top of the map and the bottom had rain, YAY RAIN!

I seem to remember that func_rain must be under (and possibly touching) a skybox to work. The brush might also need to be textured with common/trigger, but my memory is a little fuzzy here.

last night i have done many experiments.

with same setting with a larger brush the rain is visible;
with same brush and count >100.000 the rain is visible;

my conclusion:
1- not important position of the brush
2- rain is under brush and also into it
3- is important the combination brush size and count value (little brush needs high count value)
4- of course is important set r_drawparticles_drawdistance properly

now i can see the sun
