How to find the HLMT of a raindrop?

Post by merriam »

Im following this tut on the site... http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=55243 and at the very end it says to add to the feel of the rain change the needler shard to the hlmt of a raindrop but no map with rain has a raindrop in their HLMT tag. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the raindrops are bitmaps. To do the needler thing, you'd just resize the needle so it's small enough to be a raindrop, then you'd wanna' swap its shader to something that looks more like a raindrop. Something kind of grey-ish and transparent.
You'll also want to change it so it explodes on impact (instead of bouncing or sticking), does no damage, and change it's explosion effe to a little splash or ripple. (Pretty sure there's a ripple effe somewhere--but it might be better to make a new effe with a small splash).
