Multiple Storm Controllers

[LSD]

I want to have two skyboxes. The first one blends from dawn into day. Then it triggers a new skybox on, which is daytime. This part works just great. But if i want to then trigger a rainstorm to occur in the second skybox, the lens flare turns on and off like it should, but the texture blending and rain does not. The only cause of this I can think of is that SS doesnt like having two storm controllers in the same level. Is this the case? or what am I doing wrong?? To ensure that I hadnt made any mistakes, I got the storm box working fine first, then put in the dawn one. But now that I'm starting with the dawn one, the day/storm one doesnt work.

This is a shot in the dark - but maybe you could try destroying the first skybox and all entities associated to it by parenting them to a MovingBrush and then triggering a Damager that destroys it (it works - try destroying a torch, the fire model and the light model both disappear as their parent dies)?

im stuck on this too.
try just using one storm controller,
it might actually target the active background,
im not sure

I am now using one storm controller AND one Worldsetting controller, and two skyboxes, and it works. I get dawn, turning to day, and lightening the whole world, then i get rain, and everything darks down again, and then the rain stops and the sun comes out again. The only drawback is i cant use different heightmaps on the different skyboxes, cause it only works when i get rid of the second storm controller AND the second worldsettings controller

Hey LSD, could you email me that test map here -> garyp@snip.net

I can't seem to get the storm controller to work.
Thanks a bunch.

gary to get a storm controller to work, simply place on in your background box with a world settings controller, set the background viewers world settings controller as your world settings controller and "start event" your storm controller.
it works by magic because it is not linked manually :D

i'd send the map, but i used a different (newer) version of ss to make it, so you'd get chunk ID errors. if i can find the time, i'll try to make one in 1.2.
