: : How could lag possibly be a problem? The entire thing would be performed locally.. if you're referring to framerate, still, I dont' understand how it would be a problem.. has your fps ever slowed down when an animated mat came into view? Of course not, most video cards have excessively large texture caches..

: Yeah, yeah, were talking sp, enemies shooting, so, naturally, the things collide would by zilch, but drawing them through it in large areas will slow it down.

Unless you want it to rain in a hallway, or small room, I guess it wouldn't affect framerate at all.... But if you put this sucker in a MP level, and go with the sprites version of it.... Well.... Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter. Has anyone ever seen rain in a first person shooter anyway?
