Rain - possible?

[burgelkat]

no, i tested it with no post effect too. The same effect then

[macklebee]

If you are using a trigger based on collision, the effect is being added more than once to the camera post effect stack. You need to add a boolean check to prevent the effect from being added more than once.

 

example:

Script.rain = false

...

...

...

function Script:Change()

if self.rain==false then

self.rain = true

self.camera:AddPostEffect("Shaders/PostEffects/Rain.shader")

end

end

 

Edit - Same problem here: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/15421-clearposteffects-making-graphics-go-crazy/#entry103394

It is solved thanks to Macklebee

Here is a try with inside rain collision, I made today:

 

 

Edit

To make this I just let about 200 or more box with Mass set to 1 with invisible material falling over the player in a randomized area: This will be used as shape for roof collision.

Attach a sprite /billboard with the rain Material. Then an emitter at collision()/position for water splatsch.

After colliding just put the same box over the player again and again.....

 

The problem I found is that after 10 minutes or more it will be "Error: Run out of lua memory"

I checked that the game RAM would be bigger and bigger with time.

 

The material applied to the sprite seems to be essential in this. Seems that using a alpha texture is unfortunately too expensive.

I used finally a very thin sprite with a default material shader Model/flat/default - Alpha setting + Z-sort. Seems to be the less expensive for best graphic results.

 

Edit:

Solved with collectgarbage() added in main()

Now it looks like this:
