water drops on windshield could be done with modding. Could be a way to simulate it with particles but not sure how good will look.
For sleet either we use a combination of vanilla rain with particles or you could try to see how the vanilla snow works. Few Arma updates ago that became available

@danieladolfstocker
If i understand your question you ask if we can create rain effect only in some areas/specific radius? Not using the vanilla rain, it could be simulated with particles or overlay animation

Dunno if there is one, i am only aware of the YT clip i've listed in my playlist

Tutorial of Gunter Severloh on BIS

Where is the pbo ?

Nice ! ;)

@Predator14
Yup

compat MP ?

Monsoon seems to work fine

ok taking off the remoteexec works fine in SP and LAN when hosting a local server and I am the only client but when I host an internet server and another person joins it doesn't work as we just see fine weather. Will try monsoon when I get time

Ok thanks will give it a go.

@No457_Stonehouse
You don't need to remotexec the script if you run it from init. Should work unless the TRGM framework has some weather module.

Actually also to say that your monsoon script works fine using a similar approach.

{null = [StormDir,18030,StormObjects,StormDebris,StormFog,StormRain,StormThunder,StormDelay] execvm "AL_monsoon\al_monsoon.sqf";} remoteExec ["bis_fnc_call", 0];

where the variables are randomly set just prior

I'm trying to adapt TRGM2 to use this and I'm finding that it works fine in SP but not in MP. I'm very much a newbie in regard to scripting so likely I've stuffed up but in case it was a bug thought I would add a comment. Init is running this:

{null = [60,-1,-1,true,true,true,"drops",true,true] execVM "ALthunder\alias_thunderbolt.sqf";} remoteExec ["bis_fnc_call", 0];

I can't see any errors in the report file. Any thoughts?

I subscribed to it, but nothing is showing up in the mods list.

Oh yeah. Sorry Alias, I completely forgot about this.

@sirhc221
Thanks man!
I've tweaked the script, for now is updated only on STEAM.
If you have the chance to test it please let me know if the error still pops up. Thanks!

Here is the error: Website link [imgur.com]

Sure thing. I'll need to go ingame first.

@CrimsonTemplar
Could be something else, show me a screen shot

Since the contact Update, this script has been throwing up an error, due to the changes made with the waitUntil function.

这个脚本怎么用

O ok, i was wondering if the script started once a certain level of overcast was reached within the weather system i have been using it with the Alive dynamic weather module and i have had a few clear skies but the thunder was crashing . Probably the module was messing something up cheers.

I do not control the overcast with the script, you can do it in eden or another script.

Fantastic script , i was looking to tweak the needed overcast value for the script too start but i could not see it any help would be much appreciated .

still one of my fav scripts of A3. it's easy to add in your own mission and written so clean that i was able to cut off not needed parts. all thumbs up!

Changes:
* puddle's up vector follows the terrain gradient now
* tweaked the creation of lightning bolts
* small tweaks for sounds
* several new custom puddles
* fixed the rain drops so they don't show up in interiors anymore

Pleasure :)

@the78shadowfox
Thank you for sharing the info man!

Dont know if its any help to anyone, but the Alive ambient weather module works perfect with this .

It is already by our setting.sqf with force ace_weather_enabled = false;

@greni
You only need to disable ACE weather if is enabled

well in the sp mode are the same mods active and it works ... and sure ACE too...on the server not but i will give it a try again. Thx for your tips :)

@greni
Do you use ACE or other mods with weather component? Far as i remember i made the effects to be dependant on rain and overcast settings you have, that might be the issue.

@Alias Thx for your response. I have used the content of the demo in my mission. But had the fog & rain around the players only, but no sound, no storm. In the single player mission was it all fine but not on the server

@greni
It is MP compatible, you can run the script as in demo mission, is the simpler way

storm, i mean :)

Hi Alias, whats required to get the strom MP compatible ?

@the78shadowfox
Have fun! :)

@ALIAScartoons
sorry for the delay , i did reply to the "what files"? qestion but no idea what happened to it. Anyhow thanks for the link and i did find out that i had messed somthing up when i moved the files over . keep going with your scripts i really enjoy your work .

@the78shadowfox
What files?

Fantastic script , but i have a error that kepps popping up to do with the sound . It can not seem to find the files ??

It seems like lightnings in this script work very different from Arma lightnings.

And here is the issue:
Arma lightning's flickering(and i think size too) will increase as the "setAperture" setting lowers. The lower the setAperture, the more light they will provide.
SetAperture setting is used to make moonlight brighter in the nights.
End result: Vanilla lightnings still provide quite nice and good light flickering during bright nights. However, Thunderbolt lightnings will provide zero light at all.

This may be the issue for some custom maps too, which use custom Aperture settings. So bear this in mind. I'm not sure where to look to fix that issue yet so I had to enable vanilla lightnings.

@ALIAScartoons
Glad to hear that! There is still a lot of work to do, add and fix, so it's highly WIP just like some of your awesome scripts;)

@Malcain
I visited your server for a bit :) I got on it 15 min before restart and didn't have time to join again.
Looks nice and runs nice, good frames. Looking forward to play on it again.

@Swampfox
This script doesn't start the storm, it relies on rain and overcast condition you have in your mission either is something preset or dynamically generated.

Hello, i have a question, yesterday i tried in a dedicated server, and the script doest work. I get no error, just dont start the storm. But when i host the server in my pc it works. The dedicated server is hosted by Havoc by the way.

Ok. For anyone who is interested, I'm running public post-apoc "Breaking Point" server which uses Thunderbolt&Monsoon scripts coupled with MP synchronized dynamic weather.
Weather is still WIP though, and there are plans to add more Alias scripts in ~near future.
Server name: [BOP] BreakingPoint Left Behind | Tembelan | FPP |
