The way I have been doing has been with using multiple snow 'fx' in the fx Browser.

Can do it in scripts or be lazy like me and just do a ton of FX from the FX browser (not ideal)

Ya the most optimized way to do it would be to do a client script, where each player plays the snow fx on the players origin. This is ideal so the snow isn't being played at every point of the map and only at the player's location which will allow for higher frame rate.

Get the players origin and play an fx on it. You would need to mess around like making it only do it when they are outside but I'm not going to figure out a way for you since I'm not using this method.

Maybe an idea for a new tutorial episode? :)

Main, this will fire when someone spawns

callback::on_spawned( &on_player_spawned );

Then in the same file

function on_player_spawned()
{
	self PlayFX(<fx name>, self.origin);
}

You might have to get the origin of the player another way as I am not sure if they have an origin property.

If that fails, try

function on_player_spawned()
{
	self PlayFX(<fx name>, GetOrigin(self);
}

You will probably have to precache the fx you're using so you'd do this, put it up with all the #using directives.

#precache( "fx", "<fx name>" );

But what if the player is not outside. Will the FX still show?

Yes, it will. I suppose you could setup a way to detect when a player is inside by either having a volume that can detect it or some other way. Either way it seems like it would be kind of complicated to someone not competent in scripting for this game.

Put a trigger_touch around the map, then put a

waittill("triggered",who");
