weather

[ChaosSlayerZ]

here is a curious question.
if it fires off player.pl, won't that mean that weather will change every time someone enters the zone?
So in 5 min, 5 people enter the zone, and weather changes 5 times =)

yes it is, i made that code just based on that first code someone posted, i run all dynamic zones so its fine for me but for something like static zones or a large population server something else must be done. A better method that I'm almost done writing is a player.pl script that changes to a random weather type with a random intensity after a random duration of being in the zone. That will work much better to seemlessly randomly change the weather in a zone. I dont know how the bigger servers handle their weather, but for small server purposes the player.pl scripts do the job just right.

you can attach a code to a invisible "teleport_man" npc, and run it on timer

then it won't be player dependent regardless number of players or static zones
