Sandstorm script?

[Twirly]

Does anyone know a sandstorm sript or some kind for the rmvx?
Edit:
Here i have a video from Pokemon Ruby the sandstorm should be like this: *click*

That effect can be more or less achieved by use of a moving fog. Unfortunately, the function was removed in VX so you can either use a script that adds the function or use a moving "Show Picture" command.

EDIT: Well, poccil's made it a bit easier for you. You can just install his script below to save effort.  :tongue:

This is the weather script I use in my Pokemon Essentials project.  It includes a "sandstorm" and "heavy sun" effect.  I've adapted it for RPG Maker VX. (Put this script after all others in the Materials section of the script editor.)

To access the sandstorm effect, use this Script event command:

$game_map.screen.weather(4,30,0)

To access the heavy sun effect, use this Script event command:

$game_map.screen.weather(5,30,0)
