Forcing Storms

[DucusSumus]

Is there any way to force the storm effect?  I'm trying to create a mission that relies on the fact that it takes place during a thunderstorm, but the occurence of the thunderstorm, while likely, is never guaranteed by the editor sliders or setOvercast.

May be this is what you want.

Excellent.  Thanks!

Does anyone know how to make the lightning visible though?  I like the default "storm mode" in ArmA, but there doesn't seem to be a way to directly control it.

There is no way to force it, but if you set the overcast to 1 then the lightning will randomly appear.

Ups, forgot that small detail, now I added visible thunderbolts to the script 

[JasonO]

Ohh ok. I take back what I said

I usually just put:

0 setovercast 1;
0 setrain 1;

in the init.sqs file.
