How to access new fog system

[NordKindchen 12]

As can be seen in

The fog system has been improved by a lot!

Nevertheless I cant seem to be able to access this new fog. All I can find is one single slider in the editor and that of course is not sufficent to reproduce the fog shown in the video.

Any help?

Best regards!

There's a new variation on the setFog scripting command that takes an array:

time [b]setFog[/b] [density, falloff, height]

For example:

0 setFog [0.8, 0.04, 0]

You can't do this in the editor yet, but hopefully that will be implemented.

Arma 3's setFog implementation is the same a VBS2's so you can use the same reference: http://resources.bisimulations.com/wiki/setFog

This is still dev build only, correct?

Thank you for the fast answers!=)

Yes correct.

[Harzach 2505]

Jman;2381643']Yes correct.

That's what I thought. Goodies to look forward to!

(thanks for your dedi server guide, BTW - it got me up and running way back when...)

I'd appreciate some information on how to create a smooth thinning of fog over, say, 1 hour of in-game time. From this "0 setFog[1, 0.1, 0]" to "? setFog[0, 0, 0]?

3600 setFog [0,0,0] for 1 hour transition

[Tonci87 163]

3600 setFog [0,0,0] for 1 hour transition

Just to explain this a little:

3600=seconds in one hour. SO if you want it to change in half an hour you choose 1800

Thank you kindly for the explanation! :)

I can see a lot of sneaky updates to wiki lately, is there a log I can check?

I've been playing with fog all morning. It almost makes up for the loss of setVehicleInit!

[NordKindchen 12]

How do I create a mission with this fog settings when I cant use the editor for it? Where do I put the array?

Greetz!

[maddogx 13]

You can use it just like any other scripting command. Inside a trigger or init.sqf, for example.

Now we just need fog that doesn't turn bright blue during the day! ;D This is awesome, thanks for the tip. It looks great with the right stuff tweaked, and it really adds to the look of the map. I may have to just keep a very faint fog on generally just to give distant valley's a good "valley" atmosphere when we get the big map :3 Maybe I'll go see if I can port some A2 stuff up like Clafghan and try out this system on there. Considering there are FOBs that can't see the bottom of the valley they are over, it should be interesting, if it doesn't crash and burn horribly.
