Hey there People.
I just started to map a little bit for C&C3 and now I got a little Question.

How can I add Ambient Effects?
I mean FX like Wind or dust or whatever that is that is blowing over the Landscape.
Those Wind Effects in the Tutorial Map for example, how can I add some of those to my own Map?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you's in Advance.

I honestly have no idea how those effects are done in a map. My best advice would be to go and extract the maps from .big files and find the maps that have those effects and see if you can reverse engineer them.

Waypoints which are somewhere in the object list. I thought those were in either the Neutral unitlist or somewhere. In either way, there are soundflags you can use in the unitlist.

I just read that it is apparently not doable ...

Is this realy true? I read it on CnC Den, the only way to get those Cloud Textures on the Ground would be to open an Official Map, delete everything on it but build a new Map on it, so that you got those FX.

Is this true? Or does anyone found out a other way to do it ( perhaps through modding ) ?

There are some global FX objects in the game; I only dunno what they do, because you can only see the results ingame... I suggest testing them (aside from looking at original EA maps). They should be under Neutral or Civilian
