FAQ

Which render pipelines are supported?#

URP only, version 17.3 or newer, with Render Graph. The Built-in Render Pipeline and HDRP are not supported.

Does it work on mobile?#

Mobile is not supported in this version. Easy Weather targets PC and console.

Can I keep my own directional light?#

Easy Weather always uses its own sun, because that is the light it rotates and colors. When you add the system with the Quick Start window, your light is disabled by default. You can keep it, but it will not follow the time of day.

How long is one in-game day?#

86400 / Day Speed real seconds. At 60 a day takes 24 minutes, at 1 it takes a real day. See Time Module.

Can I control the weather only from my own code?#

Yes. Turn Automatic Weather off on the Weather Effects Module and call StartWeatherByName and StopWeather. See Scripting guide.

Does weather add clouds to the sky?#

No. Weather changes how the clouds look (spread, density, the 2D overcast) but never the number of 3D clouds. See Volumetric clouds.

Can I use my own particle effects as weather?#

Yes. Any prefab can be listed in a preset's effect prefabs. See Weather presets.

Can I move the asset's folder?#

Yes. Move it from the Project window inside Unity so the references stay intact. See Installation.

Can I delete the Demo folder?#

Some of the prefab's references point into it: the Weather Effects Module's Available Effects list uses the three demo presets in Demo/Weather Effects, the Snow preset and the manager's Default Volume Profile use profiles from Demo/Scenes/EasyWeatherDemo. Move what you want to keep out of Demo first (from the Project window), or replace them with your own, then delete the folder.

Does it work with Enter Play Mode options (no domain or scene reload)?#

Yes. The system keeps no static state between Play sessions.

Does the fog work with my water?#

Put the water object on a layer listed in the fog's Water Layers, or set a Water Level. The Crest ocean system is detected automatically. See Fog.
