Weather Particles Stop That
« on: May 29, 2018, 02:19:38 pm »
 Hello there everyone,

 I am currently working on a map with a weather particle inside of a cave. In other words, there is no sky, it's considered a cave in FeralHeart. Well the weather particles acts how it's supposed to when it's outside and not in a cave. The particles float around and are spread out. Every time I turn on cave-mode, things get wonky.

 Instead of being spread out how they're supposed to, the particles are instead clumped together and every time the character runs they leave behind a particle trail as if they were Amaterasu from Okami. I do not want this effect, I want the particles to function how they're supposed to. Is there a specific number I have to put in the coordinates in sky maker or is this a glitch?

Hello! Are you still having this problem? I had "fixed" this issue with my underground maps back in 2014. :)

Weather effects cannot/will not work in caves. How I had fixed this issue was that I created walls and a ceiling for the "cave" and I made the sky black. I wanted it to snow underground in my Nimrine Winter map, and this is how I had bypassed the problem. Use the BasicPlane.mesh and texture it the way you want the ceiling to look. Place it as high up as you want, and make the clouds, sun, moon, everything black for the whole sky cycle. The only problem you might have is that the stars will still appear when its night time.

Hope this helped!

Ah thank you very much, I'll give that a try. If all else fails, I'll just make a particle file out of the weather particles I'm using.
