Dark Smoke. Created 16 years ago2008-02-05 23:52:53 UTC by Ag3nt-X

Hi people, sorry for being noob again, but my new problem is: I want a dark black smoke in my map using the same system I've used on my map Fy_verstadt, a bunch of sprites inclined but with black color. If anyone didn't understood or didn't have the map, here's a pic.I want my smoke to look like that, but in black color, I want something like this:I know that i'll never get that smoke working in HL1 engine, but If someone knows how I can make those red smokes on that pic to turns black i'll be very glad.

Cheers.

I'm not entirely sure that's possible using your method, the Half-life engine being as limited as it is.

But, I'm fairly sure there's an entity that generates a pillar of black smoke, I've just forgotten what it's called. I think it's the cycler_wreckage entity, but it might also generate a bit of fire at the bottom.

if this was the case, could you not cover that bottom with a brush i imagine?

Depends on the entity, I suppose. It may decide not to do it if it's blocked, or create the effect regardless. Another problem is whether or not the smoke looks the way he wants, I remember it being quite thick.

This kind of smoke is possible, you need to use a mod called "Spirit of Half-life" though. This mod has a particle system in it.

I've used Wreckage, It looked pretty shitty. I couldn't change scales an transparency on it, there isn't a way to make it work changing the transparency mode when making the sprite?, I could try but I don't even know what I need to choose.

Edit: I didn't saw Aarons post. Sorry man, I need that for a CS map.

Cheers.
