Hello,

just tied to run the "[FREE] RainBoxV4 and SnowBoxV2 (pack) RELEASE ! (AlgoStep)" to run under GG 1.12
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/212359#postHolder
Remember, having run RainBoxV3 it in late November (map created 23rd of Nov 2015) and then it worked out with the uptodate Version of GG of that days.

Today RainBoxV3 and also RainBoxV4 did not work with GG 1.12

Might someone know help, how to run it with the today Version of GG?
That would be great

Regards,
R.E.Z.

Change the transparency mode in the fpe files to 3 instead of 5. This was changed in the program.

This will solve the issue of not being able to see them, if that is the issue.

Hi guys,

never realized that someone had donated such a useful script / functionality ... I just installed it (under 1.12) and changing the transparency mode does make the effect visible ...

Anyone know how to remove the effect completely ? And don't mean turning it off (as in "hide(e)") ...

Cheers,
Fendrik

There is a script that comes with it to shut it off when you enter trigger zones.

Rainbox_followplr.lua

+ Code Snippet

-- Created by Corno_1

local addX = 0
local addY = 0
local addZ = 0
local onetimeEvent = 0

function rainbox_followplr_init(e)

end

function rainbox_followplr_main(e)

  if onetimeEvent == 0 then
    addX = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_PlayerPosX
    addY = g_Entity[e]['y'] - g_PlayerPosY
    addZ = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_PlayerPosZ
  end

  SetPosition(e,g_PlayerPosX+addX,g_PlayerPosY+addY,g_PlayerPosZ+addZ)
  ResetPosition(e,g_PlayerPosX+addX,g_PlayerPosY+addY,g_PlayerPosZ+addZ)
  
  onetimeEvent = 1
  
end

Yes, I know ... but I wanted to know how to remove the entity from my level in the GG editor ... I don't know how to select the rainbox entity in the editor.

should be able to right mouse click on it and in the widget menu should be delete choice.

If that gives you no Joy, then save your map, close your map.
Change the rain decal folder name.
Reopen the map. You should get a missing media log warning.
Then save the map at that point and the rain decal should be permanently removed.

if you know the area it's in you can move the mouse around until it tells you at the bottom of the screen that you have the rainbox highlighted or you can use the selection box (hold left mouse and drag) to select an area (if the rain box is in an area without other entities)

if you cant find it at all then do as myke said and rename the .fpe then re-save the map.

I would be able to, if I could find it anywhere ...

I'll give the other approach a try ...
