Disasters

Reviewed for SDK 2.1

All disasters in Outpost 2 are fully supported by the SDK. This section covers Meteors, Electrical Storms, Earthquakes, and Vortices. Volcanoes are handled in the Volcano Section here: Volcanoes.

When setting a disaster, you are setting when the first warning that the disaster will occur.

Create a randomized disaster. Note, this code will require Hacker's Function Library (HFL) to run. If not using HFL, replace the functions GeTMapWidth and GetMapHeight with the actual width and height of the map.
