Make it recursive.

#macro lightning(......)
 ................
 #if (ChanceToBranch < rand(rnd))
    lightning(.......)
 #end
#end

ChanceToBranch should decrease each time
it recurses so that the macro will finish at some time.

I've got some lightning code that I never finished. If you like
I'll post it.
