All I want are raindrops that fall and emit do their sprite animation upon contact. I placed a func_precipitation in the sky, regular rain works great, particle rain does not. The second I switch to particle rain its over. I want the sweet stuff just like from hard rain campaign. Any advice? I follow the tutorials but none of them work. I edited the instance of c4m4_storm_ent and deleted all the instances within that file because they messed everything up supposedly. Could that cause problems? Thanks.

Ok, new update. I set the shaders to high, and leaves fall from the sky, which is cool, I guess. Off in the distance, above my bsp brushes (possibly at the origin) is a single point where all rain droplets are colliding. I'm not sure what to do. Advice?

Accepted Answer
Found the problem. Particle rain/rainstorm both require a very high skybox ceiling to work. I believe they were hitting the top of the un-rendered side of the skybox, and freaking out and teleporting to the origin.

Sorry we couldn't help you here. But glad to know. However, that rain particle cloud looks pretty cool. kah-may-ha-may-HA!
Yea, I do happen to remember func_precipitation needing some kind of space above (by how much, I don't know) in order to function properly. So many things that aren't documented...
Oh, be sure to add a water_lod_control entity in your map!
best of luck to you and your map.

I keep hearing that all the time at school
And yeah I've noticed the lack of water_lod_control's in that compile log as well

Hello ...
I too have the same problem could you tell me how you solved please that I can not?
As a test I created a room with walls and ceiling to 32 using the texture skybox3d and the floor are always 32 but with the texture concrete_floor_02
then I used the trigger throughout the room changed the class into func_precipitation
density at 100
precipitation type: particle rain storm
end, but not even the rain falls, however if instead of using particle rain storm rain the rain but not the sketches you see how I can fix?
I was forgetting I put entities water_lod_control
Sorry for the English I'm using google transla...
