Is not so easy, also the script was optimized to be handled by most computers. Wider storm take out more resources.
Anyways, for an experienced SFX editor/scripter is not difficult, even the script can be optimized a bit and maybe find a better eye candy/performance balance. Since i wrote the script computers evolved a bit and can handle more, tho the hard limit of ARMA particle count still remains and if the limit is reached the particles will stop rendering.

How to make the dustwall wider and spawn further away?

Far as i know you have to disable ACE weather to make it work.
Dungeon Master Jun 4, 2023 @ 4:15am 
is there a way to make this work with Ace? or can we disable the Ace Weather feature to use this or would it still break?

That system has an inertia, however from what i remember doesn't take more than a minute or so for wind to go down.
If you use ACE or any other mod that deals with weather will break the way script works.

I was testing this in a singleplayer environment but tried both just variable and variable + publicvariable. Result is as I said, the storm particles go away but the strong wind and random gusts happen anyway.

Far as i remember the storm should stop, make sure you make it public variable or you execute al_duststorm_on = false; on all machines... clients and server.
In short this should do the job:
al_duststorm_on = false;
publicvariable "al_duststorm_on";
honger May 19, 2023 @ 12:06pm 
Yeah maybe the al_duststorm_on = false; ends the sandstorm effect, but the strong wind and random gusts pushing people and vehicles around stay - so either there is more than one variable to be changed or the script is broken.
