does esenthel supports rain system[/b]

you can create rain using particle! I do that in my project (use particle witch colisions)!

http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/project...in_ren.php

Very useful resource on how to make realistic rain

It is my rain system (thanks to Seba):

Rain.h:

Quote:struct RAIN
{
Box r_source;
Particles r_rain;
void create();
void draw();
void update();
Bool raining;
};extern RAIN rain;

struct RainHitDetect : PhysCutsCallback // Physical Cuts Test Callback
{
Bool collision;
virtual Bool hit(Int group,Ptr user,Game::Obj *obj)
{
if(obj)
{
collision=true;
return false;
}
else
if(group==AG_TERRAIN)
{
collision=true;
return false;
}
return true;
}
RainHitDetect()
{
collision=false;
}

};

Rain.cpp:

Quote:/******************************************************************************/
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Start.h"
/******************************************************************************/
RAIN rain;
/******************************************************************************/
void RAIN::create()
{
r_source.set(25,1,25,Vec(0,0,0));
Image *image =Images("particle/drop.gfx");
Color color =Color(153,153,153,116); //Kolor deszczu (szary).
Int elms =Random(2000, 3000); //Random drops from 2000 to 3000.
Flt radius =0.0, //for first time rain don't exist.
life_avg=5.0; //How long rain live.

r_rain.create(image,color,elms,radius,life_avg)
.source(r_source);
r_rain.accel.set(0,-25,0); //All drops move down
r_rain.vel_random=100.0; //How far away from the formed particle falling drops

r_rain.damping=0.98;

}

void RAIN::update()
{
RainHitDetect hited;
Vec2 pos;
if(Players.elms()!=0)
{
r_source.set(25,1,25,Players[0].pos()+Vec(0,10,0));
r_rain.matrix.set(r_source, Players[0].pos()+Vec(0,10,0)); //Create rain particle over Player
}

REP(r_rain.p.elms())
{
Physics.cuts(Capsule(0.1,r_rain.p(i).pos,r_rain.p(i).pos+Vec(0,0.5,0)),hited);
if(hited.collision)
{
r_rain.p(i).life=20; //How long all drops live
r_rain.radius = RandomF(0.04,0.08); //How big are all drops (radius)
r_rain.p(i).ang_vel=20;
}
hited.collision=false;

}

}

Now to see rain you must:
In InitGame():

Quote:rain.create();

In UpdateGame():

Quote:rain.r_rain.update();
rain.update();

In Render():

Quote:switch(Renderer())
{
case RM_BLEND:
case RM_PALETTE:
{
rain.r_rain.draw();
}
break;
}

If you have any problems witch adding this write here.

that was great thanx

Thanks siwykon! Will try it out ASAP! This is awesome

Storm/rain effects are also on the roadmap for the engine but they are a long way down.

Oh. However do you think its possible to overwrite the existing sky effect and add or write it on your own?

Definitely, you can make use of the current system and add the extras which are missing (rain, snow, storm) to form a weather/environment system.

I am doing this currently, writing a climate based system for weather.

Oh Thanks for the reply. Will look into this soon
