Fun Lightning!

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.

Config Options:

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
