The Rain object is a small block that spawns the rain effect. To fill the map with this, use the objects RainStorm1024 or RainStorm2048, depending on the size of the map. Place the object in the center of the map.

To do so, in StaticObjects.con, add one of the following:

Code:
Object.create RainStorm1024
Object.absolutePosition 512/40/512
Object.rotation 0.00/0.00/0.00


Code:
Object.create RainStorm2048
Object.absolutePosition 1024/40/1024
Object.rotation 0.00/0.00/0.00


Note that these are placed at height of 40 -- this is because the rain falls for about this distance. If portions of the map allow you to climb higher than this height and therefore above the rain, add another block at height 80, and so on my multiples of 40 until you can stand at the map's highest point and still have the rain spawn high enough above you.

For example, BFP_Scurvy_Cove has this, because the highest towers allow you to go above the first RainStorm2048 block:

Code:
Object.create RainStorm2048
Object.absolutePosition 1024/40/1024
Object.rotation 0.00/0.00/0.00

Object.create RainStorm2048
Object.absolutePosition 1024/80/1024
Object.rotation 0.00/0.00/0.00

If you wish to fill smaller portions of the map with rain, you can also use the smaller "building blocks" used to create the larger RainStorm1024 or RainStorm2048 objects.

Here are the contents of Objects.rfa/Rainstorm/Objects.con. The smallest rain-creator able to be placed is simply called "Rain," a small block of several raindrop-creators.


Code:
rem Bundles by USAF 777, so it doesn't take 81 separate objects for the smallest map or the 1024 object.
rem RainStorm1024 fills 1024x1024 size map when placed in center, RainStorm2048 for 2048x2048 maps.

rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.create Bundle RainStorm2048
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainStorm1024
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 562.5/0/562.5
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainStorm1024
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -562.5/0/-562.5
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainStorm1024
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 562.5/0/-562.5
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainStorm1024
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -562.5/0/562.5

rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.create Bundle RainStorm1024
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/500
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/375
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/250
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/125
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/-125
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/-250
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/-375
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RainRow
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/-500

rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.create Bundle RainRow
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 500/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 375/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 250/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 125/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -125/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -250/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -375/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Rain
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -500/0/0


It basically lines up enough Rain objects into a row to cover the 1024x1024 map in one direction, then lines up the same amount of these rows next to each other. Then the 2048x2048 sized object is just four of the smaller 1024x1024 blocks arranged corner-to-corner.
