PageFX snow storm

I'm trying to create a snowstorm/blizzard using PageFx and I can't seem to figure out how to do it.  I can pretty much do any other effect; just not this one.   Can someone help me by telling me what exactly I would put in the GM Notes section of the "PageFX" token?

Create an effect named snow, here's one you can start with: { "angle": 90, "angleRandom": 180, "duration": -1, "emissionRate": 30, "endColour": [230, 230, 240, 0.95], "endColourRandom": [0, 0, 10, 0.05], "gravity": {"x":-0.01, "y":0.01}, "lifeSpan": 1000, "lifeSpanRandom": 300, "maxParticles": 100, "size": 3, "sizeRandom": 1, "speed": 1, "speedRandom": 0.5, "startColour": [250, 250, 250, 0.95], "startColourRandom": [0, 0, 5, 0.05] } Create a token named PageFX with the following properties set: Bar 1 (current): 1000 Aura 1: 10ft square GM Notes : snow Place that token to the top right of your map: (The Gif looks faster than it actually is in the game.)

You can put multiple copies of that token down across the top and right side of the map (outside the view area) to get more coverage.  Be sure to bump up the bar1 value significantly if you add more of them.

Awesome!  That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Edit: lol, I keep posting from my client account!

Cool. =D  Glad I could help! Happy Rolling!

Hi, I want to use the above for rain... its not working for me.   Steps I followed (in case I got anything wrong)... 1) Launched my page 2) Selected the FX icon (the bolt, 3rd one down) 3) Selected New Custom FX 4) Entered a name of "rain" and put the above code in the Definition 5) Added a token at token layer (top right) 6) Called it PageFX 7) In bar 1 (green) first box, I put 1000 8) In Aura 1, I ticked square and added 10 9) In the GM notes, I typed just "rain" 10) Saved the token I can see the token, it has a grey area box around it, but no animation.   Anything I need to do with the page, settings, anything else?

Did you install the PageFX script from the Script Library?

One thing I noticed is that this script is really CPU intensive... I could barely use my laptop (i7, 8gb ram with SSD) after having 3 of these on the go.  Is that normal?

Yes, that CPU problem is normal, but there's nothing that can be done about it by changing the API script. Some sort of performance improvement with the FX would need to be implemented by the Roll20 devs.

Thanks, appreciate the confirmation so I don't spin my wheels trying to figure out what is wrong!

Some things you can try: Increase the delay between emissions in bar 1 Decrease the LifeSpan of the effect in the Custom FX dialog Decrease the MaxParticles of the effect in the Custom FX dialog
