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

Valid values

  • A number of seconds. The storm breaks after the warning countdown and ends that many seconds later.
Caveats
  • The number is in seconds, although the [action list](/mapping/actions/) says game frames. The [team mission that starts a storm](/mapping/missions/tmission-ion-storm-start/) takes its number in frames.
  • The action does nothing while a storm is already running. [The warning](/systems/ion-storms/#the-warning) describes what a second start during the countdown does.
