Weather in Rect

How do you set up weather effects over a specific rect? Currently I have a trigger that says, basically:

Event - Map Initialization
Conditions - None
Action - Use Weather Effect "Dungeon Fog" In Rect "Dungeon"

Why doesnt this work?

You must enable it after you create it.

im not sure why you think it cant be turned off. all i had to do, as he said, was enable it using the following trigger after creating it:

Environment - Turn (Last created weather effect) On

then to turn it off you just use this:

Environment - Turn (Last created weather effect) Off

if you want to turn it off later, using multiple weather effects in multiple rects, you just assign each one to a unique variable instead of using "last created weather effect." simple stuff. hence my feeling stupid.

nononono I know you can turn a weather effect off but, you know how when you go to the rect palette and right clik on ur rect, then set the weather effect there, those u cant turn off, coz u cant save them to a variable, nor can you use last created

If you want to keep an effect there forever, add it to a region w/o trigs.
If you wanna be able to remove or disable it, you need to create it with a trigger, enable it, and set it to a variable.
