FunLightning

Ever wished that lightning would shut off blocks on a grid? Or maybe depower a grid completely? How about decreasing (or increasing) the damage and radius? Maybe you want a bunch of damage on grids, but for players to be unharmed?

Well now you can make lightning fun too!

Compatible with the Defense Shields and Nebula mods.

Note that shutting off grid power grabs active power producing blocks and shuts them off. If KillGridPower = true, those power producers will fall under the grid depower time and restore grid power options, _NOT_ the regular block options.

DamageMultiplier - Multiplier for damage (note the admin "Create Lightning" does zero damage!). This multiplies the Damage value from your WeatherEffects.sbc. Most lightning has a value of "1" so a multiplier of 200 would destroy 2 steel plates. Set to zero to eliminate grid damage
RadiusMultiplier - Applies to area to damage/depower blocks, look for grids, and check for characters. Default radius is 1m, unless modified by a custom WeatherEffects.sbc
CharacterDamage - Flat value of amount of damage to apply to characters caught in lightning (survival only!). Set to zero to eliminate character damage

KillGridPower - Turns off grid (similar to pressing Y)
GridDepowerTimeSeconds - Time in ticks to forcibly keep grid turned off. 0 disables this option
RestoreGridPower - Turn grid back on after depower time elapses

TurnOffBlocks - Turn off blocks based on options below
CheckBlocksInRadius - Only checks blocks inside the radius. If false checks all functional blocks on grid
BlockDepowerTimeSeconds - Time in ticks to forcibly keep blocks depowered. 0 disables this option
BlockTurnOffChance - Chance to turn off block, 0-1 as a percent
RestoreBlockPower - Turn blocks back on after depower time elapses
DecoysBlockEffects - If true, lightning that hits a decoy or antenna will not depower the grid or blocks, and only the decoy or antenna will be damaged

Defense Shields specific options-
ShieldsBlockDamage - Determines if shields block damage (if block is inside the shield)
ShieldsStopBlockDepower - Determines if shields stop blocks from being depowered (if block is inside the shield)
ShieldsStopGridDepower - Determines if a whole grid is protected from being depowered if a shield is present and online. Note that power producers outside the shield could still be depowered, depending on the option above
