Hide weather in homes

[tlkpubink]

edit: I've played around with it some more and finally managed to edit the SDK so it will work. Really not sure how I managed, but thanks anyway XD

Hi.
I recently decided to go with SDK and discovered that modifications made on spriteset_map to make the weather "hide" on maps with a * in the name no longer works.

For example ~ It starts to rain so the hero enters a house. Once inside the rain sound effects can still be heard but no rain appears on the screen. Then, when the hero leaves the house, the rain would continue as normal. This was much easier than starting and stopping the weather constantly with events and gave a more realistic effect.

I had spriteset map set up like this :

I tried to do something similar in SDK but do not know enough about scripting to accomplish it. If anyone could help, I'd be very, very grateful :D
