This is a script which causes items to randomly appear around the course. The item limit, rate at which items appear, types of items that can appear (this is separate from the items you can get from boxes!), and some other behaviors can be customized. Additionally, it includes a new mechanic that can be enabled or disabled separately: boxstacking.
During a free race, items other than sneakers will not rain, and items will spawn closer than normal in battle mode.
Tested in singleplayer and 4-player offline multiplayer, both battle and race modes.
Console Variables
ir_mode
"Race" by default.
You can enable the script across both modes, in battle only or race only, or disable it entirely.
ir_traps
Off by default.
If "on", certain items will transform into hazards when rained.
ir_limit
90 by default.
Limits how many rain items are allowed to exist at one time.
ir_limit_spb
2 by default.
Limits how many rain SPBs are allowed to exist at one time.
ir_lifetime
1400 ticks (40 seconds) by default.
Determines the number of ticks before a rained item is destroyed.
ir_delay
13 ticks (~0.37 seconds) by default.
Determines the number of ticks required between each rained item.
ir_startup
70 ticks (2 seconds) by default.
Determines the number of ticks required before item rain begins.
ir_pickups
"Vanilla" by default.
If "none", item boxes will be destroyed. If switched back to any other mode, the destroyed item boxes will not return until the next map. Use "Stack" to enable box stacking!
Console Commands
ir_additem (item ID, trap ID, minimum from rain, maximum from rain, rain rarity, minimum from boxstacking, maximum from boxstacking, boxstacking rarity)
Defines a new rainable item.
ir_preset
Uses one of my presets for rainable items. Descriptions are as follows:

Item Rain makes some of its variables global to allow other Lua scripts to insert their own item rain definitions. Review the script for a brief explanation of how to use this functionality.
