Well i have seen many rain scripts/plugins but none compares to what Roblox could make.The one plugin that was the closest to Roblox rain is the Make it rain by kingmatt2 link at the end of the description.

How you can trigger rain in lighting just toggle rain that is it.

True you can make rain yourself but i would like it as an update i prefer if roblox made rain then a player.

Better idea then wasting time looking for a bug loaded script.This idea will benefit mainly rpg,horror games,and town or city games.

I can hardly give a good example of how it will work but i can give you the closest to how it would may be look like.

Warning my example by kingmatt2 is a plugin not my example i like the script not the way it looks.

"Better idea then wasting time looking for a bug loaded script."

I have never seen a "bug loaded" script. With that said, instead of looking for scripts, you should make your own.

Rain isn't hard to make. You use a script to create a bunch of bricks that are spheres that start with a certain Y position and do a random X position... How hard is that?

"And rain is hard to script."

> obviously you have never tried to make one, its pretty simple. As I have said before on this forum like a thousand times, if everything on roblox was premade then there wouldn't be any original games on roblox. It's either lrn2script or lrn2searchbetter

There is no point in that this is something roblox should have added 2 years ago.

1. I'm sure they will eventually.
2. You really shouldn't be so ignorant to think they should have added it 2 years ago, rain in ROBLOX may use a lot of resources to run.

Resources that could go towards the physics or rendering.

And how would it NOT lag? Rain would have to be drawn on-screen either in workspace or as a gui. It's impossible for it to not lag considering it's an actual object that the engine has to render.

= use of resources
= more lag

""Roblox can make better then that."

No, that would literally be how they make it, unless they decide to do shaders. Then that will make it more GPU intensive.


"It will not lag."

It would use either blocks as the script would, making it the same, or shader, making it more GPU intensive.

And the GPU jumps up compared to when there's no rain. Your point being?

Many people say that rain is easy to script. IT IS, OBVIOUSLY, but what if we want realistic rain ? Rain that dissapear when touching a roof instead of going through it ? A rain that make splash on the ground, a rain that is not using any particle effect so it avoid lags for slow computer? a rain not made with bricks to not overflow the server and a rain that is not a gui to still see the rain when inside a building ? I think what he tried to say was that making a realistic rain is hard/impossible to make in roblox, because it is of course very easy to make a simplistic rain.

After 3 years, you may be getting what you want. Here's a list of what I wrote down on Roblox is planning as said at RDC livestream:
- More improvements on Team Create (Faster engine)
- Party chat on mobile
- Character customization on mobile
- R16 and dynamic poses/profile poses (October 2016)
- Avatar height and width changer
- UGC catelog (May 2017)
- Weather (Clouds, rain, etc... could include your weather in rl) [This was suggested in the S&I forum before]
- Lighting improvements (Shadows, and dynamic lighting occulation)
- More better physics (Collisions and such)
- Better Roblox networking (Smoother movement, Precise hitboxes, mechanism interpolation)
- Possible PS4 support as said in a VR slide (PSVR)
