Random Weather with AWS (SDK)

[Dubious]

Okay I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I may have just interpretted the comments wrong, but how do I set a map so that it can have random weather? It is included in the script right? Or do i need to make a seperate common event for it myself?

The call script for the Advanced Weather System (or any weather for that matter) is.

$game_screen.weather(type, power, duration)

As Raiju you could use the rand(max) method for completely random weather.
However, if you only want curtain weather types though you could use something like.

Spoiler: Snippets from my Precision Time System (work in progress)

Hopefully I removed all references to the rest of my PTS. I haven't tested this code seperately.

This allows you to specify percentage chances for each type of weather and have different weather on each map.
