RS What's the best way to add rain to a map?

If I use an emitter is there a way to only use one?

Yes, if you have a really small map. Emitters, like any mesh actor, has a cull distance. Each and every particle is a draw call. If you have a rain cloud the size of a standard map and force to render each rain drop, even the computers for NASA will lag.


Spread your emitters out, assign reasonable draw distances, and fake the rest with fog.


The real answer is NO. Just wait til you get to cover nodes... LOL
