VFX Weather Rain depends on line of sight

  • Game Version: v.100.17.38008.0

  • Build Number: 496760R

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

VFX Weather Rain and VFX Snow are really pretty additions to the map making toolbox, but rain only works while the unit is in line of sight of the player, even though the weather effect is global. Snow seems to work regardless of whether the unit is in line of sight.

So you get this weird effect where the rain appears to start and stop randomly, because your units on the other side of the map are walking around near the rain unit.

Trigger Event:

VFX Weather Rain units going in and out of line of sight.

Repro Steps:

  1. Open the map editor
  2. Place a VFX Weather Rain, VFX Snow, and a villager next to each other
  3. Playtest the scenario and walk the villager away from the rain and snow units
  4. The rain stops, but the snow continues
