env_fog (Counter-Strike) Last edited 1 year ago2023-11-13 08:22:26 UTC

env_fog - Point Entity

Covers the map in fog.

Looking for the Deathmatch Classic version?

This entity also exists in Deathmatch Classic but works in a different way than Counter-Strike.

For the DMC version of this entity, please consult this page instead.

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 color (R G B) (rendercolor) - The colour of the fog.

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:

@PointClass = env_fog : "Fog"
[
    spawnflags(flags) =
    [
        1: "Fog Affects Skybox" : 0
    ]
    density(integer) : "Fog density (<0.01)" : 0.001
    fogStartDistance(integer) : "Start Distance" : 1500
    fogStopDistance(integer) : "Stop Distance" : 2000
    rendercolor(color255) : "Fog color (R G B)" : "255 255 255"
]

• 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.
