use quads and animate them via envelopes. Read the map editor tutorial for the basics

Re: Effects In your own map?

Hi...

1 - The group

Create a group and set both paras to 0.

2 - The layer and the quad

Add a quad layer and a new quad in it.
After that change the alpha channel on every corner of the quad to 25.
Don't forget to form it, so it looks like rain.
Tip: You should set this layer to detail, because it CAN lag on some computers.

3 - The envelope

Click on envelopes and on Pos. +
Blend out the blue line by clicking on R(otate).
Make sure your envelope looks like this:

4 - Animating your rain

Right click on the yellow spot from your quad and set Pos. Env to 1 (the number of the envelope).

5 - More rain!

Click on Proof to see how far a tee can see and zoom out so you can see all 3 boxes.
Mark your rain quad like you mark tiles and copy it as many times as you want, but make sure it looks like the picture, so there won't be any clear spaces.
Click on Anim, Proof and 1:1. Now move around to see how your rain would look like ingame.

Re: Effects In your own map?

Maybe you forgot to bind the envelope to the quad?

Post screens of the envelope, the quad and the group please. (The whole screen would be good)

Or send me the .map file..
