Core Help Root: Objects: Weather System: Climate

Instances of the climate object are used to define general weather patterns for an area. The following information is stored on each climate object:

A list of season names.
A list of daylengths assigned to each season. Daylength is given as an offset, meaning that with +2, you have an early sunrise and late sunset. This number is interpreted by $world_time.
A list of weathers, each with probabilities for every season. Probabilities are not percentages, instead, only their ratios really matter.

@setup <this> seasons <any> daylengths <any>: Erases all the data on a climate object, sets a new season list and daylength lists. Both arguments are list of items separated by space; they must be of the same length.
@list-climate <this>: Shows the information on climate.
@add-weather <this> type <descendant of $weather> prob?abilities <any>: Adds a weather object to $climate; the object must be already built. Probabilities is a ' '-separated list of integers, one element for each season.
@del-weather <this> type <descendant of $weather>: Removes weather from the climate.

No climate patterns should ever be defined on the base $climate object.
