This was Super Easy, and Nice Rain, especially if you play around with the settings! Definitely do more of these types of tutorials making particles! Thanks Matt!

[@alexmanolache8473]

Good job Matt, great video as always!

[@haddi8582]

AWESOME I'd really love more niagra stuff!

Yes yes thank you. I love your video man. I can't wait to do this in my game. I love it save to watch later

[@MattAspland]

Awesome bro!

[@DuhBrickMan]

This is really good thanks!!

[@MattAspland]

Glad you like it!

[@--.--]

9:25 The developers of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy needed to see this, lmao. The original GTA's rain followed the character, but in the remaster you can fly faster than rain particles and it looked strange. Very nice tutorial, thank you!

[@kamolhakim4693]

Thanks a lot. very helpful

[@artdrawing6682]

Wow 💜

[@ignacio-sanchez4646]

Nice tutorial!!

Thank you!

[@alexandrebouffard798]

ty dude !

[@robertnalley]

Good explanation. Would like to have seen the method to keep the rain from turning with the player. Thank you for the Tut.

[@anxder]

Is there a way to add puddles or effects of rain dropping onto the ground? Great Tutorial btw.

[@caminanubemusiclist2326]

graciasss,. muy buena

[@juliakp8366]

Thanks for the video! I've also watched your random rain video and am wondering now if there is a possibility to randomly spawn Niagara based rain?

[@novakpejovic5026]

i love u man

[@MeghaKallihal]

It's amazing! Thankyou I'm looking to collect the rain that's been emitted, how can that be done? Any suggestion would be helpful.

[@MetalMe55iah]

A very good tutorial thank you :)

[@Test-iv4pm]

Thank you for the tutorial. How to make the splash when the raindrop hits the ground?

[@MrTreeGuy]

niece

[@mjesensky2760]

Excellent, thank you very much! :D Yes please, I would love to know how to make the rain that follows the player location but does not follow the player's rotation.

[@Maladrum]

Easiest way is just to go to the niagara emitter in the components menu, and under "Transform" in the details panel, switch the rotation option to the "world" option in the dropdown. This will ensure that it ignores the rotation of its parent component (the capsule component), and only cares about world rotation.

[@matthewnaylor5826]

​@Maladrum u just saved me👊

[@biswajittripathy2786]

Hi Matt, can you make a proper video about night lighting in unreal engine 5 ..?

[@deridionentertainment]

Oh I know u usually don't take request but if u do. Can you do a tutorial on how do switch from shoulder to shoulder camera. Like in shooting game. If you want to shoot with the right side or the left side. I'm really stuck on that. Thanks a lot. Keep doing what you do

[@MattAspland]

Sounds great - I'll add it to my list!

[@g-dojjo]

Thanks for tutorial bro!! Always rain particle is problem for me :D Especially rain droplet/splash effect when hit ground :/ i cant make it -_-" if you have a time in the future can you make a rain droplet/splash tutorial too ? :D

[@MattAspland]

I can look into that!

[@g-dojjo]

@@MattAspland thanks bro! ^^

[@OpenMawProductions]

@@MattAspland I second that request!

[@MattAspland]

Noted! I’ve made it today and the video will be live on the 18th of February!

[@g-dojjo]

@@MattAspland BROOOO!!! YOU ARE GREAT! THANKS! O.O!!!

[@DJ-Lee_S]

Great video, I have done this on a Voxel map with the voxel plugin but the rain is coming through the blocks when I go underground. Do you have a solution for this? Cheers 👍

[@Whetzell]

Could I do this with a flip book? Or maybe just make a second splash sprite just for the collision?

[@cyqry]

I'm curious how would this work in multiplayer? Would the Niagara systems overlap, causing twice as much rain when players are near each other, or is it possible to make it a client-only object?

[@muhammadshumak4632]

Hey Matt can you make a video of localization(adding multiple languages support ) in your game

[@vaclavfliegel703]

The particle material is emissive. So if you are using strong Exposure post process, you will have to boost the emissive output in the material. Otherwise you will see just blurred, transparent shapes.

[@pro.giciel9084]

Thanks, I duplicated the material and added an Emissive Intensity scalar parameter. My value is 100000,0!

[@TheBarsGame]

hi, please make a tornado effect in Niagara. Thanks

[@alisadal]

hello excellent tutorial. can you make a tutorial regarding destroying objects using chaos or apex plugin?

[@MattAspland]

Hey man - this video should help out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7Eept_d7-klaM

[@tigasm6544]

First of third

[@user-cw3nb8rc9e]

Looks like snow in form of rain. I think you need more transparency to the particles falling on ground?

[@pannathotnamnuaychokhirun3846]

Why in my UE5 the rain paraticle are not kill when it hit the collider?Do you know how to fix this issue? thx

[@ThePoePoee]

Can you show how to animate the rain? I am having trouble figuring out how to keyframe small movements with the rain such as wind blowing it to the side or the rain slowing down and speeding up

[@Maladrum]

The way I personally would do this is to control some user parameters in the Niagara System through blueprint along a timeline/timer. This way, the parameter values such as "velocity" are updated every frame until the target values have been reached. This will make it appear as if the rain is speeding up or slowing down. User Parameters are your friend when it comes to dynamic changes with your particles like this.

[@touraj2788]

Hello matt, I hope you doing well, I tried to do Niagara rain particle in architecture unreal engine 4.27 but unfortunately, the train passes my Street, and also I bring my project from Twinmotion, also I made a landscape in the unreal engine but also has the problem for passing. how can I fix it?

[@idkwhattosaylol2340]

Thanks for the great video, but does it work in first person?

[@idkwhattosaylol2340]

what is made for larger maps

[@erook2019]

Hey, anybody here knows a good way, to make it so that the Rain damages the player when walked into? Or do i just have to put collision boxes where rain hits and make it work that way?

[@WhiteViper8717]

Gotta question can i use this for mobile and will it make performance worse

[@fleurbird]

Awesome! I have a question. Hope you can help me. I'm working in a first person template and i want to replace the weapons. But the magazine and trigger animation doesn't work. Do you know how to fix that?

[@MattAspland]

Hey! When you say they don't work - do you mean they don't play at all, or do they just not look good with your new meshes?

[@fleurbird]

@@MattAspland They simply don't play at all. I think I have to retarget the animation. But I have no idea how. (I do know how to retarget character stuff)

[@MattAspland]

Right okay, yeah I imagine the animations are specifically for the original mesh then. I haven't used the first person template in so long, I can't remember how it's laid out lol. I believe the only way to retarget the animations properly within Unreal, would be if both skeletal meshes contain bones - which I don't believe the originals do. I haven't tried it, but you might be able to export the animations into Blender and mess about with them in there. Possibly copy them over to you new mesh.

[@hareshharidas872]

can this work on ue5?

[@Guizinhoo_]

what do i have to do do for it to be randomly spawned in my world?

[@ferdinandw.8952]

i needed to update my project from 4.20 to 4.27 to work but it now looks EPIC oh and i accidently once copied the wrong game.. and why is my rain so bouncy.

[@galberger3937]

Can i use the Niagara system with videos from UE4 as well? For example Snow? Will it work?

[@Maladrum]

Most Niagara systems people made from its introduction in UE4 should work just as fine today. Some of the terminology has changed since then, though, so it may just be hard to follow.

[@user-ld6qy7db9i]

Hello, bro! Thanks for Tutorial! Can you create tutorial "How to make a door from Resident Evil 2 Remake"? There the door has interesing mechanics. I tried to do it, but it turned out very badly. P.S. Sorry for my English.

[@mjesensky2760]

Hi, maybe you want to be more specific. I'm sure there is more than just one door in the RE2 Remake. ;) Can you describe the 'interesting door mechanic'?

[@user-ld6qy7db9i]

@@mjesensky2760 1) physics, that is. How to limit the maximum opening of the door when pushing it? This is the main thing that interests me. 2) Opening at E is easy 3)Automatic closing of the door when the character moves away from it. It's also easy. + all these three mechanisms are on the same door. But I'm more interested in the first point.=)

[@choker1236]

How do I make the floor look wet?

[@littledemo3605]

low cost mobile firendly ?

[@kenalpha3]

Can someone please explain how to/where is the setting for: 1) When rain particle hits player, turn into a new slash particle (short length)? I see no setting in the Solve for collision, etc for "change particle." 2) And/or after collide, change particle length? (instead of use kill.) My im using water jet particles, like a shower or faucet. So they are very long = water jet look. But when they collide on my player's head, they bounce up and thru a mesh that is slightly above the player's head. I cant find out how to stop the particles from shooting up so high, or change the length to 0.1, so the 200 length particle doesnt stick up out of the mesh above player's head. 2b) What is a better way to make long water jets - a beam emitter?? Because with a particle length of 200 it looks good until it hits the player, some rotate to look like the jet deflected. But other particles hit the player, but since they are already 150 units in the Mesh, they still thru other parts. Thus I need water beam Emitter, with collision (for deflecting the beam in a soft curve). How? 3) And/or the proper way to make Collision work only on the SK player mesh (not capsule)? At collision I set to Physics body. And I think this works, but doesnt exactly follow the SK body mesh shape. But I still have the problem of the water jets hitting player head, and bouncing up and showing thru the Prop mesh (above player, which isnt physics body).

[@robertnalley]

Some rain particles are still going through the awning. How do you make it so ALL the particles are killed when collided?

[@Elitum]

Have you found out how to fix the problem?

[@powdon9075]

How can you change the color of the rain?

[@Maladrum]

Under "Particle Spawn", use a Color module to set the initial color. You can also use the Scale Color module under the "Particle Update" process to show a change in color over the lifetime of your emitter.

[@ShadowAimai]

Seems like the collisions are no longer being triggered in 5.2

[@DoctorOPlays]

GPU mode not working

[@xdavis2919]

Do you know how to make puddles?
