Is there a code for lightning in sandbox? and if so what is it? also if there is a code for "regular" lightning is there also one for "bald" lightning? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!

there's the lightning particle, I don't know what you mean by "bald lightning"...

as for coding, you can't code particles, unfortunately. That would be cool, but I don't think it could happen.

"bald" lightning is... its kind of hard to describe so bear with me as I've only ever seen it once. it's like a spark of lightning and then not a half-second later a pulse of lightning radiates outward in a circle... when i saw it i didn't see a ground strike at all... but it was only there for a second or two... and i feel really stupid... i knew that there was a lightning partical i just couldn't remeber! thank you very much.

Thats not stupid, Ive read about it (long time ago though), and heres a link about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

thank you very much that's really helpful!

Oh! Ball lightning! When you said "bald lightning", that completely confused me. We may have particle support for that, try making lightning in a ball shape (using the shapes), if that doesn't work an explosion is always cool.

Thanks I'll definately try it out... and yes they do.
