Now for something a little random. I bring you.. **Tornado Script**. A script that brings a whole new element to stormy weather in GTA V.  
With this script installed, it brings the possibility that a violent tornado will spawn in when the weather turns bad.  
  
Tornados can be set to appear naturally during thunderstorms or spawned at your command using a specified keybind.

If you have any ideas for what you want to see with this mod, please post it below. Thanks (: 

**WARNING** - Keep in mind that this script does not come without a hit to framerate. It has yet to be tested on low- end machines, but I think its fair to assume that any especially low- end hardware may have issues running this. 
**The single most important thing you can do to alleviate this is reducing the particle quality to low using the settings menu in -game**

## Configuration
The INI config file gives you the option to adjust these settings.  
  
Default activation key is the F6 key (heh)  
  
## Additional Requirements
*   NET Framework >= 4.6.2
*   [ScriptHookV](http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/)
*   [ScriptHook V .NET](https://github.com/crosire/scripthookvdotnet/releases/)
  
  
## Key Binds  
* `T` - Opens Console. 
 
## Tips for Improving Performance
*   Set particle quality to low in graphics settings
*   Run the game at a lower resolution
*   Adjust variables in the INI file such as "  
    MaxParticleLayers" and "ParticlesPerLayer"
*   Adjust variables in the INI file called "ParticleAsset" and "ParticleName" (VortexAdvanced) to override with a (custom) less intense particle

## Changes 
### v1.3.1  
*   Reduced download size
*   Re- added tornado "cloud top" effect
*   Added (experimental) debris spawning system
*   Increased the minimum distance to player when spawning during a thunderstorm

### v1.3 (beta) Semi- Big Update  
*   Re- implemented the code for collecting entities, making for some nice performance improvements
*   Added tornado siren and ambient sound effects that change dynamically based on the tornado strength and position
*   Added dynamic detection of materials/ surfaces, allowing the tornado to take on the color of whatever material it is travelling over. Sand, dirt and pavement are currently recognized
*   Tornadoes now have a random lifespan, making it possible for a thunderstorm to spawn multiple tornadoes in a realistic way
*   Peds are now more reactive when seeing the tornado and will run for their lives (still perfecting this one)
*   Additional changes to spawning and path-finding related code. The tornado should now avoid high elevations and stick closer to roads and open flat areas

### v1.2.3  
*   Improved framerate by 200%
*   Tornado no longer follows the player
*   Reduced vertical force scale for player entities
*   Added an optional "cloud-top" effect that can be enabled via the config file

### v1.2.2-a  
*   Adjusted default "ParticlesPerLayer" from 9 to 10

### v1.2.2  
*   Support game patch 1.0.1365.1
*   Added a ton more configurable options to the config file
*   Added an in-game console to change properties of the tornado in real-time

### v1.2.1  
*   Fixes crashing issues related to the parsing of numbers in the config file

### v1.2  
*   Essentially rebuilt the entire mod from the ground up to favor performance. Although, the particles themselves remain quite a FPS- killer.
*   Added realistic vortex physics (Much more like a real tornado)
*   Added tweak-able options to the config file that allow customization of the tornado behavior.
*   Removed the tornado sound (for now) since it was causing a bug for quite a few people. I plan to add this back at another time.

### v1.1  
*   Fix for HUD disappearing.
*   Added some sound FX.

A mod and script for GTA V that spawns in stunning tornadoes!
