Change default weather effect

[drowsy nimbus]

How can I use valve's snow weather and set it as default? Re writing user custom weather with snow is also okay.

Found this command (SetCustomTerrainWeatherEffect(effectName: string)) and here's how I use it:

WINTER_PARTICLE = "particles/winter_fx/weather_frostivus_snow.vpcf"
    PrecacheResource("particle", WINTER_PARTICLE, context)
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Set forced winter weather effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
function SetWinterWeather()
    GameMode:SetCustomTerrainWeatherEffect(WINTER_PARTICLE)
end

...
if currentState == DOTA_GAMERULES_STATE_GAME_IN_PROGRESS then
   SetWinterWeather()

It also doesn't have to be this specific particle, I was just trying different options out.

I wonder why it doesn't work..

You might call it too late or its just broken. You can also just find out what particle used in that weather and create it every time player connects

in lua its broken

but you can change weather effect in hummer

find weather entities they are at fountain

they named ent_dota_lightinfo

if you prefer to do it manually, you need to attach the weather particle to PATTACH_EYES_FOLLOW (this is the player's camera attachment), since the way the weather effect works is that it spawns (and culls) particles in a sphere that is attached to the camera.

But yea, alternatively, follow iWas_inMineDream's suggestion and change the default weather property to use the weather particle you want, in the ent_dota_lightinfo in your map

you can try call SendToConsole("cl_weather 1")

Already found this option, although it displays the weather particle not in the center of the screen. Thanks though!

This one is working, is there any way I can center it after picking a particle?

[drowsy nimbus]

Could you please hint where to attach it to the camera?

with code

sorry if that wasn't obvious
