Description

Description:

Set rain density smoothly over the given transition time (in seconds). A transition time of zero means an immediate change. A rain density of zero is no rain, one is maximum rain. Rain is not possible when overcast is less than 0.7.

Since Arma 3 this command is MP synchronised:

• If executed on server, the changes will propagate globally.
• If executed on client, the effect is temporary and will soon change to the server setting.

Minimum overcast needed for rain in Arma 3 is 0.5.

Multiplayer:

Pre-Arma 3, each client and the server could have different rain values.

Using Example 2 on dedicated server might need additional interference on JIP clients. The reason is that JIP has rain value > 0 slowly changing to 0. To force client to sync one can execute this on client: skipTime 1; skipTime -1;
