i dont have breath vapor. could this be caused by ace particles?
Xindet 4 May, 2024 @ 6:08am 
To all people who have problems with the wind: try to disable ace weather. if this does not help disable the wind amplyifing part of the script.

To the people who dont knwo how to get the script: locate the mission in your documents/ arma 3 other profiles/..../saved/steam folder after you started it once in arma. then extract via pbo manager

How can I just get the foggy breath, no snowstorm?
Disco 11 Nov, 2023 @ 8:52pm 
intensifying wind on Lythium map doesnt seem to be working correctly... every 3seconds the trees
swaying look like they are skipping and teleporting from left to right sway

I've looked around and can't really find it, which pieces of the snow script should one adjust to make the ''circle'' around each player bigger?

same problem

i can't dowlnad directly.. the link is strange
Scotsman 23 Sep, 2022 @ 11:40pm 
seems a little broken in the wind glitches out the trees so instead of a smooth motion it is super super choppy. also snow bursts just dont seem to work which is annoying.

how do i make the snow storm a loop so when the timer ends it comes back after another timer everytime?

I have subscribed, but have absolutely no idea how to get this script. And have no idea how to load/insert/use this script (new to using scripts)...

This doesn't download anything? There is nothing in the workshop folder and I can't find the script anywhere else.
Would be great if you could re-upload your scripts somewhere else now that Armaholic is dead. These scripts are too good to be lost.

Does fog or snow limit the visibility of AI ?
MartinPJones 1 Sep, 2021 @ 10:20pm 
I can't seem to find this script anywhere on my computer, despite checking every folder I can think and searching my entire drive for it. Where does it download to from the workshop? The direct download link also doesn't work because no more Armaholic.

Where do I find the script once subbed?
ICEM4N 23 Jun, 2021 @ 7:09pm 
Hi there, I got a question, This script works like a local one or a global MP mission? Should I run it only on server trigger while in game? sorry to bother.
Stoop 12 Apr, 2021 @ 6:50pm 
wait, snow on a snow map, impossible
Recaldy 28 Feb, 2021 @ 1:39am 
There's no snow particles when loading a game save. Wind and fog work fine. :(
mykeymagic 5 Feb, 2021 @ 4:14am 
Anyone know how to ONLY have the snow effect?
GENERAL1980 5 Jan, 2021 @ 8:54am 
Hey. where is this script written to? if possible in detail! Thank you!
Recaldy 21 Dec, 2020 @ 6:27pm 
Deleted my older comments. "Effects on objects" can do dangerous amount of damage to your soldier character. I've had a variety of damage from slight to near death amounts of damage. @kanKane[NOD]

Kane 21 Dec, 2020 @ 1:44am 
@Recaldy have you tried to play the demo-script-scenario? There shouldn't be any damage from the script at all. There has to be another source that causes the damage. Are you really starting with no mods? Are you using any mission-templates, that might have some scripts already? PS: Sorry for the silly questions, but sometimes the easiest things are causing our problems
Kane 3 Dec, 2020 @ 2:52am 
Usefull info for you people. If you use vehicles in your mission during the snowstorm, you should reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle to 45-50 km/h or 29-31 mph. Because you would be too fast for the snowstorm to generate.
Kane 3 Dec, 2020 @ 2:48am 
@Yusuf Ali Gungor - |APÖHB| Hi there, if you just want snowfall and fog, (local and vanilla) use this line:

[true,3000,-1,false,0,false,true,true,false,false] execvm "AL_snowstorm\al_snow.sqf";

If the ambient sounds are still there and you dont want them, try to set "-1" to "0". But this should work. I turned of the sneezing, the intensifywind, the snow bursts (the visual effect you get sometimtes) and the breath vapor off. If you need anything else, check out the ini_storm.sqf in the script folder. It should explain everything to you. If you still have questions, feel free to ask.
Kane 3 Dec, 2020 @ 2:42am 
@Kayt. There is a way to turn it off.

Short version:
[true,3000,15,true,0,true,true,false,false,true] execvm "AL_snowstorm\al_snow.sqf";

The "0" is the snowburst, that i disabled in this example. Or you could say the snow burst is the number after the second "true". If you know what i mean. If you need anything else, you can check out the ini_storm.sqf.

Where to find the wisdom of alias?: Open the ini_storm.sqf in the script folder. It explains everything there is to know. What you're looking for is the line 16, the so called "snow burst". You have to set it to "0" in your line.

Doesnt work local snow gust and burst localy on dedicated servers.
Inited as
[true, 600, 15, false, 30, false, false, true, false, true] execvm "AL_snowstorm\al_snow.sqf";
into init.sqf
How can i run all script locally only on clients? I need not to be used on server.
Thanks
Güngör 18 Oct, 2020 @ 10:12am 
Hello mate. I just want it to snow and fog. How can I cancel the remaining storm and eye effects?
Ftmch 5 Sep, 2020 @ 4:29am 
Quick Question: What would be the simplest way to reduce the amount of snowflakes? Trying to make a mission for my group with just light snowfall and have managed to modify the script to be a lot "calmer" but there's still a bit too much snowflakes coming down.
gloom 28 Aug, 2020 @ 10:18am 
I dislike the effect during the snow bursts that messes up your screen. I like the idea of it but the effect can be just repetitive at times, is there a way to like turn it off or something?
ollie 23 Feb, 2020 @ 10:34am 
Is there a way to have to snow on the time?
ollie 7 Feb, 2020 @ 4:29pm 
Onearmy 22 Dec, 2019 @ 8:49pm 
Hey, I noticed when testing your script that the snow effect seems to stop after you've traveled a certain distance (about 500m or so) from where you spawn.

At first I thought this was an issue with my mission file, so I loaded up your demo mission and tested and found the same thing.

Is that working as intended? If not, do you have ideas on how to fix it?

If it is working as intended, do you know how to enable it be snowing no matter where you are/how far you go on the map?
Predator 8 Dec, 2019 @ 12:18am 
Awesome! Thank you!

StigOnStæm 15 Sep, 2019 @ 4:55pm 
I've been looking through script files and I cant seem to find where I can set the frequency of snowflakes. What file is it in?

The ☯ Zombie 8 Sep, 2019 @ 11:59pm 
I downloaded it from http://www.armaholic.com
The ☯ Zombie 8 Sep, 2019 @ 11:57pm 
I have trouble with getting 1.1 to work. I get no snow bursts and no player shaking from cold.
1.04 works fine.

This is how I start it:

if ((!isServer) && (player != player)) then {waitUntil {player == player};};
nul4 = [true,1500,5,false,10,false,true,true,false,false] execvm "AL_snowstorm\al_snow.sqf";
Spitefire_4 22 Aug, 2019 @ 9:17am 
Another update, I have found the reason why the storm was starting in the beginning due to the ini doc and have resolved all my issues thank you for the help.
Spitefire_4 22 Aug, 2019 @ 9:04am 
An update on my problem, I the functions have all started working fine, the only last problem I have is that the snowstorm starts at the beginning of the mission and not later on during the mission.
Spitefire_4 21 Aug, 2019 @ 10:28am 
and the only way I seem to be able to disable the snow storm from starting as the mission starts is by removing [] execVM "AL_snowstorm\alias_hunt.sqf"; from the 7th line of al_snow. But then nothing seems to happen.
Spitefire_4 21 Aug, 2019 @ 10:00am 
I appear to get no snow bursts or unit sneezing effects. It also just seems to start on the start of the mission.

@Spitefire_4
What exactly doesn't match with your parameters?
Spitefire_4 21 Aug, 2019 @ 9:51am 
Hello I have checked the misc.sqf and created my own misc.sqf to trigger [true,3000,15,false,5,false,true,true,true,true] execvm "AL_snowstorm\al_snow.sqf"; when the command nul = [] execVM "Scripts\misc.sqf"; is used, but there seems to be no change in the storm. I apologise for the constant questions im really bad with scripts.
ALIAScartoons  [author] 21 Aug, 2019 @ 9:37am 
@Spitefire_4
See misc.sqf in this mission

Spitefire_4 21 Aug, 2019 @ 9:31am 
If the trigger does not work how would I go about starting the snowstorm after units reach a certain area?
ALIAScartoons  [author] 20 Aug, 2019 @ 8:40pm 
@Spitefire_4
You should be able to find the pbo for russian campaign mission in your Steam downloads.
You can also download it from Armaholic as a zipped pbo.
If your mission is MP do not use triggers to run scripts.
The script will use whatever parameters you have, make sure there are no duplicates instances of the script running.
