Lightning uses special Strings for it's art:

• Set Lightning_Art = DRAM
• Custom script: set udg_Lightning = AddLightningEx( udg_Lightning_Art, true, udg_X[0], udg_Y[0], udg_Z[0], udg_X[1], udg_Y[1], udg_Z[1] )

In my example, X/Y/Z are Real arrays that would be set to your desired start/end coordinates.
