Forces of Nature: Lightning Storm Map Ext.

Description
A map extension that adds lightning and thunder to the rain in Ark for any map.

Works great on servers, 100% clean and stack-able.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU MAY WANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE ON THIS PAGE:

By default there is a random chance for "Ball Lightning" (google it).
The ball lightning is a fast moving projectile that does massive amounts of damage to any dino's, players or structures that it may hit.
It is random in the fact that every rain "session" will have lightning, not every session will have ball lightning.
It is also random on it's trajectory so technically it should not hit the same spot twice but it may happen since this Ark after all.
The damage for the ball lightning can be adjusted via the GameUserSettings.ini and can also be turned completely off.(settings listed below)
If you do not adjust the .ini settings and the ball lightning happens to hit your base and kills you, your dino's, + your mom and your sister too as well as taking out half your base and you come cry about it to me I will only laugh and rest easy knowing it is working as intended.

You've been warned

Mod ID=677745441
Spawn codes=N/A - Wait for it to rain

GameUserSettings.ini using default as example. Set to whatever you want:
[Thunderstorm]
BallDMG=2500
DisableAlerts=0
DisableBall=0

If you do not add .ini settings it will use the defaults listed above.
DisableAlerts=1 to disable the Audible/Text alerts
DisableBall=1 to disable the ball lightning completely

See it in action: 2x Everything, Max Level 185, Many mods - mostly mine.

Special Thanks: Mezzo - UE4 Forums/Discord - Helped with linking the event to the rain start/stop.

Been wanting a mod like this for a long time. Thank you for making it. Love the alert. I don't seem to be seeing any lightning on Lost Island though? 2 other people on my server have confirmed the same.

Very nice mod. Really immersive. I didn't see it stop any electrical devices yet, for now... Should that do the same thing than Electrical Thunderstorms?
