LE Weather

[Whitemorn]

Hello, I'm constructing a load free skyrim player home / keep, but I have one problem ... how do I keep snow and rain from falling in the home? Is there a collision barrier that might prevent it if I place it over the structure?

 

Thanks in advance! :) Whitemorn

I think rain and snow are actually filters applied to the player's camera.

 

You'd have to change the area where the home is so that weather effects don't exist when they're covered.

 

I know this can be done because there's a mod where vampires doesn't take sun damage when in the shade. Maybe look into how they added a check for if player is shaded or under cover and change it so that the weather filter does not get applied to the player's camera if they are.

The mod Real Shelter does something similar to this effect when under a roof outdoors.

 

Also, I remember watching a video tutorial on making a trigger box surrounding the building and making duplicate weather objects with no rain effects. A script is attached to the trigger box wit han OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerLeave event. Whenever the player enters the trigger box, it checks the weather and if it is raining, it will instead call up the corresponding duplicate with no rain effect. When the player leaves the trigger box, it reverts the weather back to the original. I just can't find the video anymore...

 

Here's another you might want to take a look at, though: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/18651/?

Or you can take a look at Xilante's other attempt at it using a different method: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33577/?
