Hi all,

I am having a real time trying to set the timing for a second series of
events in my show. The first set of lightning effects sequence of events
in relation to the ship and mist movements are just fine, but, no matter how
I try to set the timing for the second round. I want the two types of
lightning to activate at specific times as the ship and mist are converging
upon each other for the fullest storm effect.

I've searched the help sources and tried the suggestions, but, nothing seems
to be working. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Is there a
tutorial somewhere that I can try?

Best regards,

Jan :)
