snow/rain plugin timeout

Islander · September 2, 2021 at 8:29 PM

Is there a way to get the snow/rain plugin load in a scene and get removed after (for example) 10 seconds?

Hi,

it depends a bit on your exact needs, but this works:

Code

<scene name="scene_1" title="a1" onstart=""  autoload="true">
		<preview type="grid(cube,64,64,512,0x666666,0x333333,0x333333);" details="16"/>
		<view hlookat="0" limitview="off" />
	</scene>




	<plugin name="snow" zorder="1" keep="true"
	        url="plugins/snow.js"
	        floor="0.7"
	        onloaded="snowballs();"
	        />
	
	<action name="snowballs">
		set(plugin[snow],
			mode=image,
			imageurl='snowball.png',
			blendmode=normal,
			flakes=2000,
			imagescale=0.5,
			speed=1,
			shake=4,
			speedvariance=2,
			spreading=2,
			wind=0,
			invert=false
			floor=0.7
		);
		
		delayedcall(4, tween(plugin[snow].alpha,0,2,,removeplugin(snow)); );
	</action>

.. after 4 seconds we slowly make the snow transparent and then we remove the plugin..
but as said.. it depends what you exactly want.
Perhaps you need:

Code

delayedcall(10, tween(plugin[snow].alpha,0));

Hope it helps,

If you set this for your winter months, with date control, it will be fine if it snows in winter (december, january, february) and not in other months :)
