Notes:
- Do NOT just copy and paste over this script!
- This script core is made to be modified and is not foolproof.
- If you aren't too good with ACS, I recommend you to use this with aid of a better coder.
- As the rain drop locations are being counted through the player positions, the activator should prefferably be console player.
- The script is clientside so it theoretically should be run for each player on a server separately.

// Render distance is distance around the player where raindrops spawn and should NOT be too high or expect runaway terminates or LAGS
