Has anyone implemented rain into their levels, because out of the ones I have seen, I don't think it has been made possible. I hope someone proves me wrong. I just want to know if it's possible and the lbp.me link to the level that has included it.

It is not impossible, but it caused a lot of lag when I first tried. Basically you just use emitters to emit water drops. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it would work better using my CCS or something similar. You could set it up so it is only raining over your screen and depending on how much rain you want it could cut down on the lag. As long as you have the emitter ignore parent velocity I think it would look pretty good.

In LBP1 you could just make something go in and out of the water fast but they might of changed it...

Aha! I know what to do! Add a "rain" tool to the world tweakers. You could have rain in different parts of your level if you wanted. As for making water with rain, that results in lagging if you use emitters (which is the only thing you can use). Hope you guys like my suggestion! Loafsy PSN: Loafsy

I have made a decent enough rain effect in my Mythicos level. I don't use water, and there is no lag whatsoever. Check out the trailer http://lbp.me/v/1scs9d Right tharr.

I have a pretty awesome rain effect i worked on for a long time. no lag, all 3 plains. check out my level downpour.(the name kinda suggest rain) http://lbp.me/v/2-gmtg An easy way to get rid of lag with a rain is to use a randomizer for every 10 emiters. i have 30 emiters and 3 randomizers. and about 13 rigs in the level. add me as a friend and i'll give you a rundown

You could just make a 10-30 big grid long piece of hologram and have like 10-15 emitters on it. Put another holo facing up glued to the other holo with the emitters and make it follow the player. Not to bad as far as lag is concerned (I think)

Give a sackbot a creatinator that shoots water and set to follow, hostile.

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. So I guess emitters are the best way to go with a randomiser. Thanks for your help in this thread everybody!
