Fog? Created 19 years ago2005-01-23 01:01:09 UTC by Avison

How do I create fog...?

env_fog_controller.

Is fog generated from the controller or the fog texture?

It's generated depending on the player, but the controller tells the game you want fog to be present. The fog textures are for certain special situations, the env_fog_controller is what you're looking for.

The distances and how thick it is can be set in the fog controller's properties.

How do I choose where I want the fog to be? And how does the fog texture work?

the d1_fog_trainstation or whatnot works. Not sure regarding the rest.

The fog is procedurally placed depending on how you setup your controller. Setting a low fog start makes the fog closer, setting a high one makes it start farther away.

How would I go about placing it in a certain place in a map...see it is a shaft I want fog at the top and the bottom to mask how it isent actually that long.

You can't really cordon off areas for no fog, unfortunately

You could give that trainstation fog texture on a func_illusionary a try, but the standard fog appears in teh entire map.

What exactly does the fog texture do?

Well the fog texture on illusionary appears as a transparent glass with fog written all over it...well anything else that might achieve this effect?

d1_trainstation_fog is what you want - do a filter for 'fog' and look for it - It appears as a yellow-y color. It just sits there and looks like fog.

If I use that texture the editor crashes when I compile...??????
