On the client, the Weather table strikes local lightning.

Available on: Client

See also: Weather (how weather sync works, sandstorms), Weather (server)

Functions

Weather.StrikeLightning(position, color)

Strikes a lightning bolt at a position in this player's game, in the given color. Local only: other players do not see it. To show it to everyone, send the position from the server with a Net event and strike it in each client.

The bolt uses the game's lightning, which is only available while the game's weather has an active lightning system; when it has none, nothing happens.

Side: Client

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
position	vec3	where the bolt hits
color	vec3	the bolt's color (x, y, z = red, green, blue)

Returns: nothing

Example

-- client: strike where the server says, in blue
Net.AddEvent("Lightning", function(position)
	Weather.StrikeLightning(position, vec3(0.4, 0.6, 1.0))
end)

-- server: strike every player every 20 seconds
Timer.Set(function()
	for _, client in ipairs(World.GetPlayers()) do
		local player = client:GetPlayer()

		if player then
			Net.Broadcast("Lightning", player:GetPosition())
		end
	end
