Edit the config.lua file to set up the weather types, chances, intervals, and API settings:
Config = {
WeatherTypes = {"CLEAR", "EXTRASUNNY", "CLOUDS", "OVERCAST", "RAIN", "CLEARING", "THUNDER", "SMOG", "FOGGY", "XMAS", "SNOWLIGHT", "BLIZZARD"},
WeatherChances = {CLEAR = 20, EXTRASUNNY = 15, CLOUDS = 10, OVERCAST = 10, RAIN = 10, CLEARING = 5, THUNDER = 5, SMOG = 5, FOGGY = 5, XMAS = 5, SNOWLIGHT = 5, BLIZZARD = 5},
WeatherChangeInterval = 30,
UseLiveWeather = true,
Latitude = "your_latitude",
Longitude = "your_longitude"
}
Commands
/setweather [weather]: Allows admins to manually set the weather. Example:/setweather CLEAR. Requires thecommand.setweatherACE permission.
API Exports
Easily integrate the weather system with other scripts:
