Others were having problems with getting it to work once rezzed out to land. I just wore it and it worked beautifully and when I wanted it to stop raining, I just detached it!!
Awesome little added effect for your SL pleasure.
This is a very nice rain item however the full permtions do not work with builds because the scripts & textures are no copy no mod no transfer.. so you can't use them in builds :) other wise its Great!! :)
OMG this is great!! Just awesome. This guy took me on a date to a secluded beach... feeling rather uncomfortable I rezed this item and it started to pour. At first I thought he would know immediately that I set it...but he didn't. And neither did a surrounding couple... who came walking by asking "it rains at the beach??" LOL Date over!
Very realistic rain and the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five was because I couldn't find the object to take it back so I couldn't stop the rain! In a sandbox!
Being a building bumpkin I didn't know how to find invisible objects.. instructions would have made this item perfect :)
