This script can be used to create randomised weather conditions on a map which change periodically during the game. The range of weather conditions that are applied can be controlled via the script parameters to ensure inappropriate types of weather are not used (such as snow in the desert).

You should only have one instance of this script active at any given time, generally it should be attached to a map controller object such as a Daves Arrow preset.

Parameters

update_interval_min	The minimum time, in seconds, between weather update checks. Note that unless probability_change is set to 100 an update check does not necessarily cause new weather conditions to occur
update_interval_max	The maximum time, in seconds, between weather update checks. Note that unless probability_change is set to 100 an update check does not necessarily cause new weather conditions to occur
probability_change	The percentage probability that new weather conditions will be generated when an update check occurs
fog_start_distance_min	The minimum starting fog distance that can be applied
fog_start_distance_max	The maximum starting fog distance that can be applied
fog_end_distance_min	The minimum end of fog distance that can be applied
fog_end_distance_max	The maximum end of fog distance that can be applied
precipitation_probability_snow	The percentage probability of snow occuring
precipitation_probability_rain	The percentage probability of rain occuring
precipitation_probability_volcanic_ash	The percentage probability of volcanic ash occuring
precipitation_density_min	The minimum precipitation density that can be applied
precipitation_density_max	The maximum precipitation density that can be applied
lighting_probability_normal	The percentage probability of normal lightning occuring
lighting_probability_war_blitz	The percentage probability of a war blitz occuring
lighting_intensity_min	The minimum intensity of lightning that can be applied
lighting_intensity_max	The maximum intensity of lightning that can be applied
lighting_start_distance_min	The minimum starting distance for lightning that can be applied
lighting_start_distance_max	The maximum starting distance for lightning that can be applied
lighting_end_distance_min	The minimum end distance for lightning that can be applied
lighting_end_distance_max	The maximum end distance for lightning that can be applied
lighting_heading_min	The minimum lightning heading that can be applied
lighting_heading_max	The maximum lightning heading that can be applied
lighting_distribution_min	The minimum lightning distribution that can be applied
lighting_distribution_max	The maximum lightning distribution that can be applied
wind_heading_min	The minimum wind heading that can be applied
wind_heading_max	The maximum wind heading that can be applied
wind_speed_min	The minimum wind speed that can be applied
wind_speed_max	The maximum wind speed that can be applied
wind_variability_min	The minimum wind speed variability that can be applied
wind_variability_max	The maximum wind speed variability that can be applied

Note: The probability of clear conditions (no rain, snow or volcanic ash) is the 100% minus the combined probabilities of rain, snow and volcanic ash that are configured in the script. For example, if precipitation_probability_snow is 5, precipitation_probability_rain is 15 and precipitation_probability_volcanic_ash is 1 the probability of clear conditions will be 100 - 5 - 15 - 1 = 79%
