Weather Assets

Overrides the built-in snow and rain weather with custom events. This is feature is a work-in-progress.

Random weather can be scheduled to occur naturally on a map with the Weather_Types property of the Level Asset.

How to test?

When a GUID is passed to the weather command it will start a custom weather event, and 0 can be used to end it.

Properties Reference

Type string: SDG.Unturned.WeatherAsset

Volume_Mask u32 Mask: Only enabled while inside an ambience volume with non-zero bitwise AND result. Defaults to 0xFFFFFFFF.

Fade_In_Duration float: Seconds between weather event starting and reaching full intensity.

Fade_Out_Duration float: Seconds between weather event ending and reaching zero intensity.

Ambient_Audio_Clip Master Bundle Pointer: Audio clip to play globally. Volume matches intensity.

Override_Fog bool: Should fog configured in the lighting be overridden?

Override_Atmospheric_Fog bool: Should fog affect the skybox?

Shadow_Strength_Multiplier float: Directional light shadow strength multiplier.

Fog_Blend_Exponent float: Power applied to fog blending alpha.

Cloud_Blend_Exponent float: Power applied to cloud blending alpha.

Wind_Main float: Wind zone windMain value. Will be replaced by more configurable game-specific wind eventually.

Dawn, Midday, Dusk and Midnight: Refer to the “Time of Day” section.

Effects array: Refer to the “Effects” section.

Stamina_Per_Second float: Stamina +/- buff.

Health_Per_Second float: Health +/- buff.

Food_Per_Second float: Food +/- buff.

Water_Per_Second float: Water +/- buff.

Virus_Per_Second float: Virus +/- buff.

Has_Lightning bool: If true, lightning will be enabled for this weather type. In the future this should get cleaned up, but for now it is hardcoded for assigning a net id.

Min_Lightning_Interval float: Minimum seconds between lightning strikes.

Max_Lightning_Interval float: Maximum seconds between lightning strikes.

Time of Day Properties

Each of the four main times of day can override certain properties.

Fog_Color struct: Distance-based fog. Optionally overrides the skybox color. Refer to the “Color” section.

Fog_Density float: Functions similarly to fog intensity in ambiance volume. Value must be within [0, 1].

Cloud_Color struct: Inner body of cloud. Refer to the “Color” section.

Cloud_Rim_Color struct: Outer edge of cloud. More visible than inner color. Refer to the “Color” section.

Brightness_Multiplier float: All ambient lighting colors are multiplied by this.

Effect Properties

Multiple effects can be instantiated while the weather is active.

Prefab Master Bundle Pointer: Game object with a particle system. PlayOnAwake should be disabled. For effects tied to the view it may be helpful to change the culling mode to “Always Simulate”.

Emission_Exponent float: Power applied to weather intensity multiplied by default constant rate over time.

Pitch float: X-axis rotation when Rotate_Yaw_With_Wind is enabled.

Translate_With_View bool: Should position in world-space match the camera? The built-in snow and rain move with the view. Position is zeroed when false. May be useful for transition effects like dust blowing into the map signaling the start of a sandstorm.

Rotate_Yaw_With_Wind bool: Should y-axis rotation match the wind direction? The built-in snow and rain rotate with wind.

Color Properties

Each color can use a custom override, or a color from the level editor lighting panel. Using a level color is primarily for rain and snow backwards compatibility.

Level_Enum enum: If set, then the RGB specified are multiplied by this color.

R, G, B uint8: Color channel values.

NPC Conditions

Global weather state and current weather intensity blend can be tested through NPC conditions. Refer to Conditions documentation for documentation.
