Here's a basic lightning strike I have completed. Just save this as lightning.scr in your global or where-ever folder, and exec in your map when you want it as "exec global/lightning.scr ( xxx xxx xxx )"
Currently modifying this to hit 93 random spots in my Destroyed Village, doing either damage or giving the player more health, both types hit the same random spots.
Change the settings to how you want em
It's called hurtlightning because I use two, one to heal and one to hurt.
Also more fun if you edit your ubersound to setup thunder for all maps and use this as well, just throw it in under the main local.origin:
Code:
local.master aliascache thunder1 sound/amb/Amb_Thunder_01.wav soundparms 1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 3000 6000 auto streamed maps "m dm moh obj train"
Code:
main local.origin:
//First spawn the lightning and deactivate it
local.hurtlightning = spawn func_beam targetname "hurtlightning"
local.hurtlightning.origin = local.origin //ground point origin
local.hurtlightning.scale = 3.5 //Big main bolt
$hurtlightning endpoint ( local.hurtlightning.origin + ( 0 0 2000) ) //Make it stretch into the sky
$hurtlightning minoffset 0.0
$hurtlightning maxoffset 13.0 //Makes it squiggly, up to 100 i think?
$hurtlightning numsegments 45 //Changes how squiggly, play with these you'll see what I mean.
$hurtlightning deactivate
$hurtlightning light (1 1 1) //Set the light here since it won't change
//Now for small color changing beams to give it a nice look
//Beam1
local.hurtlightningeffects1 = spawn func_beam targetname "hurtlightningeffects1"
local.hurtlightningeffects1.origin = local.hurtlightning.origin
