That's what I call "A KISMET SEQUENCE" !!!
You're crazy Sneh, and I love that

thanks a bunch sneh, this helps alot :-)

Glad it's helpful for you!

I know some things that can be done a better way - I'll finish it one day!

It's a shame you can't open the map and look at kismet directly. It's not obvious what each object / mesh is hooked up or where it is in the map for example..

Let me know if you have any questions, I can explain what's going on from A-B which might be easier..

RAIN TRANSITION (Controls general rain events)

THUNDER / LIGHTNING FX (Things that happen while it's raining)

It's not actually finished, but I'll give this to you "as is"

A lot of things are done by remote event - so it's hard to break it down. Everything starts on the "main" sequence if you want to follow it all from the start..

Basically, the main control for turning the rain on / off happens in the "RAIN TRANSITION" sequence, and all the finer details happen in "THUNDER / LIGHTNING FX" so it might be worth starting there..

What you did with Gothic2008 is close to what I want to do but as I said I cannot open it in the editor, it just crashes it. Do you have a different file I can d/l or just post or pm what the kismet sequence looks like cause thats what I need.

Post the kismet? Umm.. yes I can do that

I can't open DM-Gothic2008, just crashes the editor

This might be helpful to look at, it has very complicated dynamic weather...
It starts out a clear night sky, then clouds come over, which turn into darker clouds (and thunder), then it rains with lightning, then eventually clears over into a morning sky and stops raining.
The way I set it up, it can swap from one state to any other smoothly with just a single kismet command (so the changes could be totally random)

Looks interesting, I will check this map

Is it me? =P

You were the one who really help me get the sequence started, which I am grateful.

NP, I aim to please

I also have to thank you for helping SEBASTIEN-NOVA finalize the Kismet sequence in DM-Tomac-WE, which looks awesome.

I am trying to figure out what "he" did and write a tutorial to help others, as all three of you have helped me.

[Tikithehut]

Yes,
and thx to you for have tell me the magic world "material instance actor" when I looked for make a kind of same stuff too

NP, I aim to please

[SEBASTIEN-NOVA]

I just take a look to the rain stock material.
You will have to make a copy of it on your map package and add a "scalar parameter" link to the opacity of the material via a "multiply" expression with the rain texture sample.

[SEBASTIEN-NOVA]

Yeah, the MIC is definitely the way to go...
