DemoIonStorm=1,44,0,20,0,0,0,0, ; trigger DemoIonStorm runs a 20-second storm

Executing the action arms the warning countdown of IonStormWarning seconds; the storm breaks when it expires and lasts the number of seconds given.

Valid values

  • A number of seconds; the storm breaks after the warning countdown and expires that many seconds later.
Caveats
  • The editor text says game frames, but the engine multiplies the number by the frame rate of 15, so the value is seconds. The team script mission that starts a storm passes its number through unchanged as frames.
  • The action is refused while a storm is already running. A second start during the warning countdown keeps the earlier countdown and replaces the pending duration.
