Description

Description:

Sets rain density smoothly over the given transition time. 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 multiplayer 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:

Prior to Arma 3, each client and the server could have different rain values.

Zapat: setTimeMultiplier does not affect transition time.

Killzone Kid: 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;
