Area Triggers and Area Shapes in Editor
« on: April 03, 2010, 04:48:25 PM »
Ok all.. get your Sandbox 2 brains working for me. On my Glacier map, I have snow effects outdoors throughout the map in place. They are set up that upon lauching the map, they are disabled. In spectator view, you never see it snowing although you see area specific windy snow effects around the dropships. To have the regular snow effects work, I have them set up using large Area Sphere's within the dropships. These area spheres are tied to an area trigger. The trigger is tied into a flow map with the snows partical effect outdoors. When leaving the areasphere it enables the snow partical effect and when going back into the areasphere it disables the partical effect. When I go into game mode from Sandbox 2 editor, the snow will not be running until I enter and then leave the dropship. This makes sense since when I exit it, it enables the effect. So it appears to work. I then export to game and go into Crysis and create my own server loading the map. I spawn inside a dropship and the on partical effects working are the ones I have there on purpose. I go outside and boom, snow kicks in and works great. For all accounts it looks to be working as intended. If someone else hosts the map such as dedicated server, no snow effects when going outside. Now, if I host and have someone else join my server, I get snow effects, but they do not. Any ideas what it is I'm missing here?

im not too sure about this but is it possible that ya only have the trigger tied to one of the graphic settings? IE is it tied to detail   or high only . If this is the case it might not show up up or be triggered on medium setting or lower.

Pentence... I will go check that. I'm pretty sure I had it set for all settings but it's possible. The thing that puts doubt on this for me is I have my settings normal and it stops functioning for myself when I get on someone else's server. Good thought though and I'm off to check now.
