To configure the weather system please edit the varible trigger.
NOTE: System does not support days,months and years or time.
To configure the date system please edit the varible trigger.
If you want to change the names of the months please edit them in var set trigger, you can also edit how many days in the month by editing the varibles under the month.

1.0 - Weather System
1.1 - Added Date system, removed integer A, replaced with WE_int variable.
1.2 - Removed all waits, removed random generation variables every few seconds. Now only generated when needed.(Improved performance.) Also removed showing of time on multi-board ( improves performance and was not needed.) Added -date command removed unneeded variables. Added Fog to weather system, its random too! (Changeable in the trigger called Number Randomizer.)
1.3 - Added Seasons, Seasons affect weather, less chance to have fine weather in winter etc. all 3 systems integrated into one. One trigger to tweak 90% of the system. Trigger that can be tweaked state what to and what not to touch.
1.3a - Fixed time desync
1.4 - Changed how seasons work, high chance of sunny days in summer, higher chances of rain and wind in other seasons, no heavy rain in summer. Fog changes every day not just when the weather changes. Added more comments to System.

HMWE = How Many Weather Effects. You set this to how many weather effects you want.
ChanceVAR = The chance the weather will be sunny, you can increase or decrease this by changing the 4. At two it have a 4 out of 7 chance to be sunny.
Now to add an weather effect you must choose have Set WeatherEffect[Integer] = lastcreated weather effect, this is so it can be stored and called upon later.
then you'll add wait 0.20 seconds so it makes sure that it is store. if you do not do this it may store the perious effect twice!
ALWAYS MAKE SURE "Set HMWE = NUMBER OF WEATHER EFFECTS YOU HAVE"

The 480 seconds is 1 day, if you want this to be different just change it to how long you want, please also make sure its the same as the seconds in a day in the gameplay constants.
Pretty much every thing else does not need to be changed.
You can change which months are summer etc by changing the number in the condtions "Current_Month_num Equal to "12"" etc,
Summer is only 12 1 2 months, dec jan feb.
to change the chance of it being sunny change the Set ChanceVAR = (HMWE + 5) to Set ChanceVAR = (HMWE + 9) etc.
If you edit "Current_Month_num Greater than 12" you can change how many months in the year
