Notes from before the conversion: Use setRain if you want to make sure it rains.

Only one script command induced weather change (either setOvercast or setFog) can be happening at a time. Starting a new weather change will immediately halt the current weather change. SetRain changes are independent and can occur simultaneously to a weather change.

Arma 3's volumetric clouds cannot be instantly changed (it would take up to a few seconds to do a full recompute). Therefore, 0 setOvercast 0 will not have the desired effect. You can use skipTime to get to the desired cloud coverage. NOTE: To get instant, seamless overcast change to overcast 1 advance the time 24 hours with skipTime while setting overcast transition time to 86400 seconds (24 hours) -- Killzone_Kid 86400 setOvercast 1; skipTime 24; //to remain on the same date: skipTime -24; 86400 setOvercast 1; skipTime 24;

With removal of simulSetHumidity‎, in order to add instant cloud cover, execute simulWeatherSync with delay (for now): skipTime -24; 86400 setOvercast 1; skipTime 24; 0 = [] spawn { sleep 0.1; simulWeatherSync; }; There is slight freeze with simul command.
