Ummm, maybe you can use a sentry? Like make its oofer a zapper cuz it has blue bullets that look like rain… You probably wouldn’t be able to do it on top down though. Only on platformer…

Use an animation. However, it’ll be very memory consuming.

Hey @Sir_Froggo,
Unfortunately, weather is not currently implemented in Gimkit Creative. I think @JaydoPotato has a good idea, and you could also use lots of little, circular blue (no-collision, somewhat transparent_ barriers on the Above layer to simulate rain. If you wanted to animate it, you would need different sets operating on a clock.
Does that answer your question?

You could make a randomizer connected to a camera point. The camera point would show a white barrier that flashes on for like 0.5 seconds. This would be a cool way to simulate lightning. :)

That’s neat! Yeah, and you could also tint the sky grey on a platformer so it appears like the clouds are getting darker.
Good idea :grinning:

By the way, welcome to the forums (I don’t know if you’ve already been welcomed but the more the merrier, right!)! They’re a neat place, and I hope you have fun.

I tried top-down, but I think it is possible
You use multiple blue barriers, and have a few counters, maybe a zone UNDER layers to represent the ground or use a different terrain, Set the counters to one second and use it to activate and deactivate the lightning effects and rain effects,

to turn it off use one counter with a longer time to deactivate all barriers and the zone,

TADA! Rain Effects!

ok, make a checker grid array with blue circle barriers. now, make them flash every one second. make the rain be on every other square. Now, between the gaps, add rain that flashes in a different interval, so it looks like it is raining. I’ll make pictures, just u wait.
