Smoke??? Created 16 years ago2007-11-27 19:37:55 UTC by AMK

Hey guys and chicks how do i make smoke, is there an env or do i have to make it out from a env_beam and how??

sep.. you could use sprites or an env_beam going from the ground up... up to you man...

more info plz

To get the best smoke effect in a HL Singleplayer map I'd say get Spirit and use an env_particle entity and use the blacksmoke preset.

Otherwise create a few env_sprites going upwards in a line, using the scale property make them bigger the higher they are.

The get the name of the sprite (.spr) file that you want to use het sprite_explorer here and search the pak0.pak file in the Valve folder.

Unbreakable's method is best.

what about a cycler_wreakage

i tryed to do it with the ev_beam how but the movmant is to fast can i slow it down??

and how can i make smoke with a cycler_wreakage

ps. my answers are probable at a little wierd times cuz im at a gmt +1 timezone

cycler_wreckages just emit smoke, some fire..
and.. thats basically it..

You're gonna need the latest FGD

Using a couple of env_sprites with a smoke sprite gives you the best results. Just make sure that you make each of the smoke sprites bigger when its further away from the source (a hole in a pipe or something).

As for the cycler_wreckage, placing it in your map is enough, it'll automatically spawn black smoke ingame. Not sure if it can be customized though.

I just used to use cycler_wreckage when I mapped CZ. It's easy. Put it somewhere and you're done. Plenty of black smoke!
