Hi guys

I never used fog, and fx's in radiant so far, I would need some help with that.

Basically the map is set in a desert, that's why I would like to add some distant fog,
and sand moved by the wind. I don't know where to start.

Thanks

Hello.

Fog by default is defined in your map's _art.gsc file. This should be found at MAPNAME/maps/createart.
Make sure there aren't any // on the same line before "level thread fog_settings();".

Look for something like the following in your file, that's what will control the fog:

fog_settings()
{
	start_dist 			= 440;
	halfway_dist 		= 3200;
	halfway_height 	= 225;
	base_height 		= 64;
	red 						= 0.533;
	green 					= 0.717;
	blue		 				= 1;
	trans_time			= 0;
 
	SetVolFog( start_dist, halfway_dist, halfway_height, base_height, red, green, blue, trans_time );
}

Should be self explanatory, change the numbers after the equals to your desired values. Make sure to leave the ; alone.

As for the sand, you already know it's an FX you want. Look into UGX's Easy-FX if you want an easy way to set it up.

If you need further clarification, just leave a reply.
