I am not sure how to make rain either, I check the weather thing, and put rain, but nothing happends.

The weather is controlled by .WAC scripts.

Click on tools, then open mission WAC, then copy & paste the following into the .WAC




if never() then // start rainfall and fast-moving clouds

rain(75,1)

overcast(70,30)

skyspeed(80)


// Random Lightning and Thunder
If past(10) and random (33) then
farflash
endif

lightning(250,250,250)
wave("thdrcrk2.wav",1000)

To have snow instead of rain, then replace the word Rain with the word Snow.

Don't forget the "endif" statement. It won't work without it.

if never() then // start rainfall and fast-moving clouds
rain(75,1)
overcast(70,30)
skyspeed(80)
endif

Then combine the lightning flash with the color statement and wav :


If past(10) and random (33) then // Random Lightning and Thunder
farflash
lightning(250,250,250)
wave("thdrcrk2.wav",1000)
endif

The new items are done with a .def file. It opens items that are already in the med. you can download it at

Be careful when using weather its been known on alot of maps to cause lag and so on! I think mostly reason was the maker didnt do it right or something!Ive seen many maps over weather that made me and many others get lag!
