Hey, nice content! Thanks! Would be awesome if you make a video about topdown weather effects, like cloud shadows, thunders, etc.

You can change the Sorting Layer of the ripples to make them show only behind character / trees.

I don't have a solution to make the particles correctly respect Y sorting of the sprites. The best thing that can be done is to spawn the rain ripples below the house / tress and add another particle system that will spawn rain drops on the roof of the house (other objects that should be affected by the rain).

Here is the effect:

I hope it helps!

Select the GameObject that has the Particle System component attached.
In the Inspector window, locate the Particle System component and expand its settings.
Scroll down to the Modules section and click on the Add Curve button (+) next to the Collision module.
In the Collision module, set the Collision Type to World.
Enable the Plane and Set Plane From Bounds options.
In the Plane setting, choose the player's hitbox GameObject or a GameObject that encompasses the player.
Adjust the Collision Quality as needed to balance performance and accuracy.

If you want to exclude specific layers from particle collisions, you can adjust the Layer Collision settings in the Collision module accordingly.

Idea: If you use a Flip script to flip the player sprite, don't put the VFX on the player but on the camera instead 😁 otherwise the rain will act strange.

When I get to the texture sheet animation, nothing is showing up. I see the orange Unity squares in the particle generator, but the ripples are invisible or something. I'll also note, there is no image in the little box next to the main renderer menu (top left of the component). What could be the issue here?

hey thanks for the video, I think mine doesn't work because I don't have the same camera as you, my game use only canvas. What do you use as a camera, or do you know what should I do to make it work with my UI ?

[phillipwebb]

Is there any way of making it rain at random times?
