env_fog - Point Entity

Attributes

• Fog density (density) - Density/strength of the fog. The value should be less than 0.01, otherwise the the fog will not appear. 0.009 is the thickest and lesser value means thinner fog.
• Fog Start Distance (fogStartDistance) - Distance where fog should begin to appear. Default 1500 units.
• Fog Stop Distance (fogStopDistance) - Distance where fog should be at configured density. Default 2000 units.
• Fog color (R G B) (rendercolor) - The colour of the fog.

Flags

• Fog Affects Skybox (1) - If enabled, fog will affect the skybox as well.

Notes

• env_fog was never used in official Counter-Strike maps but was used a lot in Condition Zero. Since both games share the same basic code, the entity still functions well in Counter-Strike. Most Counter-Strike FGDs do not come with this entity listed so you can manually add it with Notepad as follows:

• Unlike the Sven Co-Op one, this env_fog cannot be deactivated. It will stay as it is and cannot be turned off.
• The fog effect only appears in OpenGL Video Setting. Only models/sprites with Normal render mode affected by the fog.
• Putting solid black color (0 0 0) will show no fog.
