How do I use it?
- Download the Module, requiring the ID does not work.
- Open a Script, and Initialize.
local SimpleWeather = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.SimpleWeather)
SimpleWeather.Init() -- loads the module, you can put a weather type to start with, inside '()'
task.delay(5, function()
SimpleWeather.ChangeWeather("Rain")
end)
SimpleWeather.WeatherChanged:Connect(function(NewWeather)
print('The Current Weather is now : '..NewWeather)
end)

Hi,
Thanks for sharing.
Is there anyway of having it run on the client? Because you might have different biomes and want different weather going on for different players…

This is very nice!
Will fork it and combine it with RLTIME to get a more “Realistic” feel.

I was thinking about that, this would mean that i could make another one that is client side…
Edit : On second thought, you can, if im not wrong, just make sure everything is run on the client only because clashing could happen between Server and Client.
Awesome! good-luck creating it. its a such a gift to see someone finding relevance to something that I made.

Of course!
Will give you the files for the forked version once I’m done
Oh, ok! Maybe I could make a revamped version of the current one?
The current one had amazing features!
It could use some optimization and some extra feature but what you have rn is a solid and amazing resource!

Also, an example .rbxl or open source place is always nice to play with…

I just added one now, thanks for that!
So, I just got to using this module and just realized that you cant have multiple parts rain at the same time.
Could you add a tag/attribute that it checks for and then cycles the weather loop?
Currently i plan to make this game huge, So I will need tons of diffrent parts to cycle at the same time.

I dont understand? Please know anything outside the module like rain effects and extra sounds arently really issued with me… I think you might be refering to my example place?
Sorry, Its hard to explain because English is not my first language.
In the test place, there is 1 part named “fake rain” that is the area which rain is produced.
However, in my game. I would like there to be multiple parts across the in game map.
I dont think your module is capable of handling multiple parts without tons of duplicate scripts.
For example: I have 2 fake rain parts. I want both of them to cycle rain independently without having to make multiple scripts for each one.
Therefore, i think tags or attributes would be useful, you could use them like smart bone does to tag objects the client needs to work on.
For more, fun, how hard is it to have it NOT go through parts, like a part that is a roof…
or not go through terrain, like in a cave
also what about adding puddles when it hits the ground?
thanks
You will have to script that your self unfortunately. I made a script so when the weather changed it would activate the particles depending on what weather its currently on, the script is not part of the system.
Like i mentioned before the rain effect is not part of system, i may add it in future but not right now. Please script these unadded features and this means the system would have to be clientside to do so. I hope you all understand, you must script these rain effects by using raycasts or zone detections - this is help btw. The system is meant for static open scences like forests, and transitioning scences if you get what i mean.
mm, maybe V 2.5 will be client side… , but I get what you are saying… it is just that alot of maps are going to have different bioms, and or people are going to be in different areas
It actually is already lol, you just need to make sure every script that initializes the system, is a Local Script; Its both Server and Client but it only works properly on one.
