[Tutorial] Adding rain and lighting to all maps

[Nekochan]

In this tutorial i will show how to make rain and lighting on maps

1) First of all you need mod with the following folders:

Code:

mp_MODNAME\maps\mp\mp_MAPNAME.gsc

ADDING FX IN ZONE FILE

2)Add this lines to zone source file

Code:

fx,env\weather\fx_rain_heavy
fx,env\weather\fx_rain_heavy_looping
fx,env\weather\fx_lightning_flash_run
fx,env\weather\fx_rain_downpour_looping_md
fx,env\weather\fx_lightning_flash_single
fx,env\weather\fx_rain_splash_area_500_hvy_lp

3)You need FXs files! You can find them in YOURBlackOpsDirectory\raw\fx\env\weather AND place them to mp_YOURMOD\fx\env\weather

ADDING FXs TO MAP

4) Add those lines before "MAPS\MP\_LOAD.GSC" in mp_MAPNAME.gsc

PHP Code:

    level._effect["rain_downpour"] = loadfx("env/weather/fx_rain_downpour_looping_md"); // RAIN 1
    level._effect["rain_heavy2"] = loadfx("env/weather/fx_rain_heavy_looping"); // RAIN 2
    level._effect["lightingFlash"] = loadfx("env/weather/fx_lightning_flash_single");  // LIGHTING FLASH
    level._effect["rainsplash_500x500"]  = loadfx("env/weather/fx_rain_splash_area_500_hvy_lp"); // RAIN SPLASHES 


SPAWNING FX

5) Add those lines in 'main()' function ending

PHP Code:

    wait 4; // ADD WAIT OR THIS NOT WILL WORK!
    
    playFX(level._effect["rain_heavy2"], (X, Y, Z) + (0,0,300)); 
    playFX(level._effect["rain_downpour"], (X, Y, Z) + (0,0,300));
    playFX(level._effect["rain_heavy2"], (X, Y, Z) + (0,0,300));
    wait 2; // WAIT
    playFX(level._effect["rainsplash_500x500"], (X, Y, Z));
    wait 2;
    for(;;)
    {
        playFX(level._effect["lightingFlash"], (X, Y, Z)); 
        wait 5; // LIGHTING FLASH WAIT TIME
    } 


NOTE: X, Y, Z - YOUR POSITION, DO NOT CHANGE + (0,0,300));

I have used your mp_nuked file and I get error: server script error uninitialised variable '"Z"

I thought is easier to modify all this in the map fx gsc file.

I have used your mp_nuked file and I get error: server script error uninitialised variable '"Z"

Ohh god, you have to change the (X, Y, Z) part >_<
