    Repo Page:
    https://www.beamng.com/resources/tornado.34436/ (will work once it passes the approval process)

    How to use

    Radial Menu
    Open the Radial Menu by pressing E, and go to Freeroam Actions > Tornado
    upload_2025-5-2_22-26-12.png
    You can attach a tornado to the current vehicle by selecting one of the "Attach" options.
    Tornado strength ranges from EF0 to EF6 with EF6 being the strongest.
    Tornados attached to the current vehicle can be deleted by selecting the "Delete Tornado" option.

    Custom Tornados
    You can spawn fully custom tornados by opening the tornado menu from the radial menu by selecting "Open GUI".

    In this menu, size and wind speeds can be fully adjusted to your liking.


    Name: the tornado will show up with this name in the Active Tornados list. To spawn multiple tornados you need to give them separate names.
    Height: the height of the tornado in meters
    Radius: the radius at the bottom of the tornado in meters
    Wind Rotation: Sideways wind speed in m/s
    Wind Inwards: Wind speed pulling towards the center of the tornado in m/s
    Wind Up: Upwards wind speed in m/s
    Wind Range: How far away from the tornado walls the wind will start affecting vehicles

    Spawn Tornado: will spawn a tornado at the camera position or update an existing one
    Delete Tornado: will delete a tornado, make sure you have an active tornado selected from the list!
    Attach/Detach Tornado: will attach or detach the tornado from your currently driven vehicle

    Multiplayer
    If you want the tornados to sync in multiplayer, download Tornado_Server.zip and place the folder contained within (unzipped!) in the Resources/Server directory of your BeamMP server and place the main mod zip file in Resources/Client as normal.

    Thanks to @Spencer Johnson for helping out with the model and textures!

    For now you have to attach it to an AI vehicle and set it to chase you that way. I might add other ways for it to move/chase you in the future.

    Did you place the Tornado.zip inside your mods folder? You can try pressing Ctrl+L to reload lua and see if it shows up.

    What BeamNG version are you playing on?
    Maybe you are playing on an older version before the radial menu got updated.

    Hello I'm having the same issue. I reloaded the Lua and it still didn't work. I have put it on unpacked and didn't work. put it on the mods folder and it didn't worked. how do I fix this?

    edit: Also, my game is up to date. And I'm sure I've placed it in the right folder. How do I fix this?
