Biomes & Nature A new hardmode event… the Tornado Outbreak.

RainbowPotato 🌳🪓

Official Terrarian
General Information:

This is an event that spawns many tornadoes on the terrarian world. These tornadoes are similar to weaker sharknadoes, except that they don’t shoot out sharks or any projectile and the tornadoes can have random sizes and shapes. The event lasts one in game day, and once every last tornado has dissipated , and the player hasn’t died, they get a reward. Tornadoes can last any amount of time within 45 seconds to 2 minutes and 15 seconds. This event has special tornado variants at certain locations, and certain locations can’t spawn them at all. This event is also summoned at will, and the tornadoes do not destroy tiles. These tornadoes move at 5-15mph (to not be OP), and can be up to 300 blocks tall and 200 blocks wide, or be as little as 15 blocks tall and 5 blocks wide. Width is not tied to height. While the tornado is picking up the player, the player can not move and can not be hurt other than by bosses.


Requirements to occur:

One “Weather Jar” must be consumed to start the event. The Weather jar requires 5 Soul of Might, 5 Soul of Fright, 1 cloud, and 1 bottle at a mythril anvil. Alternatively, if the player does not want to use up clouds, they can craft with 5 Soul of Might, 5 Soul of Fright, 1 Bottle during a monsoon at a mythril anvil.

The player most be post mech, for the event to occur.

If the player leaves the surface, the event ends without a reward.

Ocean: Spawns a sharknado actually, but only on water.

The mini-tornado fades away after 3 seconds, and has infinite pierce, moving at 3.333 blocks/ second. Their size is anywhere from 1-3 blocks tall and wide.) . These face random directions.

Sword. A tornadic, short ranged sword. Deals 60 damage per strike, and after striking an enemy, it transforms into a mini tornado (The mini-tornado deals anywhere between 5 and 15 damage, and has a knockback value of 15.

The sword can still be swung afterword, and the tornado will not disappear.

Gun. A tornadic gun. Shoots micro tornadoes as fast as a handgun, Autofire on. These micro-tornado deals anywhere between 15 and 30 damage, and has a knockback value of 16.

The event cancels if the player reaches the underground layer.

If the player is underneath blocks, tornadoes can still spawn underneath I imagine as a bonus of some simple code. I would imagine the tornado gets cut off, but who knows
 
Nah, we already have sandstorms and the constant threat of the evil biomes spreading, I think terraria's got its fair share of natural disasters as is...

Its a summonable event so if the player wants to avoid that its fine. But yes, those basically make it so this isn’t as usable or doable.

I meant natural disasters :guideconfused:, edited post.

Oop.

Yeah, I mean that is true.

(Evil biome spread is like the terrarian world’s extra natural disaster)

But i think it would be cool (also might be biased because i love meteorology and keep getting ideas…)
