Any ideas for Rain Effects?

[CoolMeeskop (Meeskop)]

I already have rain in my game and a way to enable it on a timer, but i was wondering if you have any ideas for effects that could come with the rain when it activates. Mabye fog and stuff like that.

Make the lighting a bit darker?

If you visit 1867(the game that I am currently working on) you might notice that cyberpiper and myself faced the same issue: we wanted to enhance the rain effect. In the end, I added a lightning flash (by flickering the game’s lighting briefly) and then added a roll of thunder as a sound effect. After this, the rain could begin.

One option that I didn’t use, but was subsequently brought to my attention, was the inclusion of droplets of water running down the monitor screen - created by boatbomber. Take a look at the following game and see if it is applicable for the effect that you want.

You can find more information at the following thread:

Screen Distortion Rain

I made a version of this when glass first came out, and it got nice responses. Someone recently brought it back up, so I figured now is as good a time as any to remake it! For games with rainy environments, having droplets on screen can really add immersion to the game. My original inspiration for this was Hard Reset: Redux. It was a small feature, but it felt so good. For showcase places, it’s even better. What does it do? This creates small “water droplets” on the screen, using Glass mate…

Can you link your game 1867? I want to check it out.

No problem, CoolMeeskop.

The lightning, thunder and rain is timed to kick in during the first three minutes or so, in a pause of the introduction music. (By the way, if you wear the umbrella (and jump) be prepared for a hidden Easter Egg: The Mary Poppins Effect.)

Enjoy looking around.

Well done, CoolMeeksop. That is looking really good. Keep up the good work.

Thanks in the meantime while the post was up like in the past hour or so i made this

The rain script
It changed the terrain color, the brightness and many other things i came up with

local b = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local a = b:WaitForChild("REs")
local f = a:WaitForChild("WeatherHandler")
local a = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local a = a:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts")
local j = a:WaitForChild("RainScript")
local a = b:WaitForChild("Skyboxes")
local d = a:WaitForChild("RemusSkybox")
local h = a:WaitForChild("Rain"):GetChildren()
local i = game.Lighting.SunRays
local g = Color3.fromRGB(89, 78, 59)
local e = Color3.fromRGB(54, 65, 32)
local c = Color3.fromRGB(75, 121, 5)
local b = Color3.fromRGB(177, 155, 118)
local k = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
function ClearSkyboxes()
	local b = game.Lighting:GetChildren()
	for a = 1, #b do
