Adding random snow

[XtremeMakak]

Is there a random snow v2?

[IGoGI Teasy]

Untested:

if (isServer) then {
	_snowrun = true;
	letItSnow = false; // public variable
 
	while {_snowrun} do {
		snowchance = random 100;
		if (snowchance > 10) then {
			if (!letItSnow) then {
				letItSnow = true;
				publicVariable "letItSnow"; // sends variable to all clients
			};
		}
		else {
			if (letItSnow) then {
				letItSnow = false;
				publicVariable "letItSnow"; // sends variable to all clients
			};
		};
		sleep 300;
	};
};
 
if (!is_Dedicated) then { //change it to !isDedicated like in the init.sqf, maybe better but should not matter for DayZ servers since you can't host them in the game!?
	_snow = nil;
	"letItSnow" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
		_letItSnow = _this select 1; // variable value send from the server
		diag_log format ["SNOW_DEBUG _letItSnow = %1", _letItSnow];
	​	if (_letItSnow) then {
			_snow =  "xmas\effects.sqf";
		} else {
			terminate _snow;
			sleep 300;
			setviewdistance 800;
			0 setfog 0.3;
			0 setovercast 0.6;
		};
	};
};

Might have to make an exception for the pubV (!"letItSnow" ?)

Il ltry to test it later today

 

 

tested it, WORKS GREAT!  really good job!

tested it, WORKS GREAT!  really good job!

 

Whut? It didnt wrk for me unfortunately (or perhaps that is because i have custom weather)

85.214.66.54:2302 come and look :D

 

have much much scripts running and do my best to optimize the scripts.

posted some solution for current probs i figured out :D

 

but. i have a problem.... or 3. all the same prob.

 

the snow, safe-zone and adminmenu go away if someone change its skin. (snow at a relog too, cause its a timeboundet trigger) has someone a solution for this? 

i havent found one now.... :(

everything bound to the player will be lost if you change the skin, because what actually happens when you change skin is your characters gets killed and replaced by another one with the new skin, so all your gear is copied over to the new character. i know that is cruel, if anyone knows the movie the The Prestige I think it was in that film... :P

 

anyway actiosn bound to the player will be lost because of that (like admin menu and other permanent actions etc), so you have to re-add them to the "new" player,

Thank you for snow scripts.

I've tried like above. No error in rpt. No kicked by battleye.

but snow was not falling.

What is wrong? help me plz...

[Black Stormy]

i got this installed properly, but my people were noticing that even people in the same geographical area were getting different weather effects. For instance, 4 people standing at the same base, one was foggy, another raining, another snowing, another clear.

 

Not sure if it was just my installation, or if this is intended.

It not your fault, the script just generates random snow effects on every client. that's what I said the author month ago.. but it's not that easy to fix that :D

[smallp0x]

Working like a charm. Anyone know how to stop it from snowing inside buildings?

[Taz13]

Sorry to tag on to this post so late, i have added the random snow to my Server fine but having a slight issue trying to locate the 

fn_temperatur.sqf from your dayz_code.pbo

 

I have even checked my compiles etc but have mention of this file.

 

Please any ideas on this?

[fr1nk]

dayz_code / compile / fn_temperatur.sqf

 

That's where it should be.

[Taz13]

Thats great, thank you.

 

Couldnt see the wood for trees :)

[DY357LX]

I'm still filtering through the comments but... is it possible to isolate the snow to certain co-ordinates?

I'd like to keep the snow in certain far northern regions where custom bases/AI missions are.

 

Thanks.

[Tricks]

I see 2 different posts with the "final" script, can anyone link a confirmed working version please. :)

[kenguru74]

I've never seen it snow. In the best case - rain. And sometimes a too abrupt change in the weather. It must be embedded in an existing script control the weather. 

The idea itself is fine.

[fr1nk]

Last time I checked, this worked fine for random snow.

[Steven1230]

So I installed this and it worked at first but came back 2 days later and no snow or rain lol. Whats going on?

 

nvm lol works

[Havoc302]

So does this work across all clients evenly or randomly per person?

[TheVampire]

So does this work across all clients evenly or randomly per person?

 

The one that Fr1nk linked is synced across clients.

[Havoc302]

The one that Fr1nk linked is synced across clients.

Awesome thanks! :D

 

Could the OP be updated?

[Tricks]

This works awesome, thank you so much. One question. Is it possible to add this to the InfiSTAR menu so u can activate it anytime?

[Uncle Bad Touch]

The problem with the one that Fr1nk linked is that it isn't the same density as the script from above or that we are currently posting on. Fr1nks linked one is a couple of snow flakes while this one is an actual storm. Nice to see that it would be synced across all clients.

 

Edit: I am also very interested in this script for our server so a final easy to find link and it being synced for all clients would be heavenly.

The same effects might be achieved by changing a few settings in the version I linked...snow density, fog levels, etc. Maybe someone could take a look at that.

[diezil]

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but its my attempt at making it snow outside but not inside (for example looking out doors/windows etc).

 

The script is a WIP and I only post this as I've recently started work so I don't have as much free time lately and Christmas is near I would like to see proper snow on servers =)

 

drawbacks/bugs

1: arma 2 glass materials are broken and you cannot see any particles through the windows until you smash the window (same goes with flares) with the exception of one of the offices which works fine, hospitals don't seen to allow view particles even after you break the glass (maybe execute a script to damage all building glass at server start),

 

2: arma 2 bounding boxes are "very" bad, the main one is the cowsheds, these are generally made of 2/3 maybe 4 separate models so it still currently snows inside those until i implement some kind of special case, also some cowshed bounding boxes fall within the actual building, and some buildings bounding boxes are very large compared to the buildings.

 

3: wind factor needs properly managed locally to help prevent snow clipping through the walls in windy conditions or ray projection needs implemented but that might be a bit overkill and cause lag (so better just to manage the wind).

 

/**********************************************/

 

to start snow simply call (method will change in future/final version)

execVM "custom\weather\fn_snowfall.sqf";

to stop snow 

snow = 0;

currently intensity always 1 (range 0-1), this is easy to change if you want to random its intensity, as i said its a WIP and I've not implemented a lot of stuff while testing.

 

Anyway please give feedback if you try it on your server/lan, lag hasn't been an issue for me as its more cpu rather then gpu.

What if I want the wheater to be snow to be permanent? not only 25% chance?
