how to force a storm...

[bedges]

Code: [Select]

0 setovercast 1
0 setrain 1
equals no rain, some nicotine-stained clouds and no thunder/lightning. is it dependant on the sliders within the editor, or does the script override those? i know the comref says "with overcast one storms and rain is very likely.", but is there a way of simply forcing the storm to maximum instantly?

i have looked in the usual places, in fact i'm going to stop saying that... i think it can be taken for granted by now

Rain takes a little time to get going sometimes. Also BIS standard rain is, to put it bluntly, Shit. Get yourself Llaumax sky or nam sky. Their effects are a little easier to appreciate.

I would suggest trying to put this in a trigger, in the order you have, overcast first, then rain.

mmm, same effect. i think as BigNasty suggests, this has more to do with the time i'm giving it, i.e. not a lot.

thanks anyways

In my experience:

The scripts override the sliders

is there a way of simply forcing the storm to maximum instantly?

No
