socs 92 Posted May 3, 2018 Hey all, i'm looking for anything on how to get a "ground fog" type of atmosphere... I've looked on the forums but the only post that hit spot on only had 3 replies, and when the guy tried to get an answer, the other just disappeared I guess... But here is a picture or sort of idea I'm looking for... Now I know this isn't Arma 3 and that it's DayZ but I have seen this done in Arma 3 before... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2517 Posted May 3, 2018 Tricky to do with the built-in fog system, and it wouldn't be patchy as seen in the screenshot. Try this, maybe? http://www.exilemod.com/topic/9995-creepy-night-fog-for-exile/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted May 3, 2018 I have used this in the past. Refer to this posting to fix it for A3 And you have to use the Armaholic link to dl it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11277 Posted May 3, 2018 I'd also recommend Harzach's choice too, I used it in a mission a while back.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted May 3, 2018 Hello there Socs ! There is a similar script in the BMR Mission if i am right. It's .fsm Spoiler /* Fog script v1.62 Made by Rockhount[BAfH] (visit us on http://www.bafh.eu/ ) Install: Open the editor, create a new unit/object and put the example into the init of the unit, after that save the mission. Then open the folder .../Dokuments/ArmA 2 Other Profiles/Nickname/missions/misisonsname and copy the script into the folder. example: null=[l1,100,11,10,3,7,-0.3,0.1,0.5,1,1,1,13,12,15,true,2,2.1,0.1,4,6,0,3.5,17.5] execFSM "Fog.fsm"; l1 = name of unit (use "" for markers and when you on a multiplayer session only want to set the fog around the player: run the script once! with 'Player' (not 'this' and not 'name of the unit/object'!!!), example: null=[Player,200,10,... ) If the unit/building was destroyed/died or the marker was deleted, the script will exit automatically! 100 = Maximumdistance 11 = Minimumdistance 10 = Count of clouds 3 = Minimumsize of clouds 7 = Maximumsize of clouds -0.3 = Height of clouds (must be a bit below the ground to look realistic) 0.1 = Respawntime of clouds 0.5 = Transparency 1,1,1 = Color of clouds 13 = Remove-speed of clouds 12 = Minimumlifetime of clouds 15 = Maximumlifetime of clouds true = The fog will be effected by wind (for no wind effect: false) 2 = Windstrength (acts only when the wind effect is 'true') 2.1 = Random-direction-period(in seconds) (acts only when the wind effect is 'true') 0.1 = Random-direction-intensity (acts only when the wind effect is 'true') 4,6,0 = Move-direction-speed (x,y,z) - same effect as wind, but constant and adjustable(acts only when the wind effect is 'false') 3.5 = Stardaytime (the fog will spawn when the ingametime is 03:30) 17.5 = Enddaytime (the fog will spawn when the ingametime is 17:30) RandomDirectionPeriod 2.1 with RandomDirectionIntensity 0.1 means that 0.1 will be added to the direction-speed (x,y,z-randomized) of a moving-cloud every 2.1 seconds. An example for norrins revive-script: revive_init.sqf: NORRNCustomExec1 ="null=[Player,100,11,10,3,7,-0.3,0.1,0.5,1,1,1,13,12,15,true,1,2.1,0.1,4,6,0,0,24] execFSM ""Fog.fsm"";"; // Exec1 occurs following being revived NORRNCustomExec3 ="null=[Player,100,11,10,3,7,-0.3,0.1,0.5,1,1,1,13,12,15,true,1,2.1,0.1,4,6,0,0,24] execFSM ""Fog.fsm"";";

By the way, since you usually always have an answer at the ready for me, lol, do you know how to force the ramp on the MK10 Landing Craft Utility to open upon beaching? I can't find the name of it to set it as a trigger so do you know if there's any other way to force open it? Because the units don't get out if the ramp isn't open... This is for a world war 2 scenario... Any help or suggestion are appreciated.. Thanks :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harzach 2517 Posted May 3, 2018 _unit animate ["FrontRamp",1]; _unit animate ["FrontRampRubber",-0.7]; "_unit" is a placeholder, of course. Reset those values to "0" to raise the ramp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koust 1 Posted May 4, 2018 Hey, the "Fog script v1.62 Made by Rockhount[BAfH]" works great, but how to deactivate it? I try to implement this script in a trigger, but i don't know how to deactivate this script if i leave the trigger zone. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted May 4, 2018 Give the trigger a name and deleteVehicle triggerName on it? That might throw an error in the fsm though, I would have to test it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know why but the script dosent work for me somehow. does anyone know why? i dont get any errormsgs. does it have to do with the ingame fog settings? note: changed that also: "drop [""\ca\data\cl_basic"","""",""Billboard"",_spawn,_l ifetime,[(_Pos select 0)+_radius*sin _randomdir,(_Pos select 1)+_radius*cos _randomdir,_height],[_right,_forward,_up],5,0.2,0.1568,0,[_size],[[_col1,_col2,_col3,0],_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,[_col1,_col2,_col3,0]],[0],_dirPeroid,_dirIntensity,"""", """",""""];" \n to "drop [""\A3\data_f\cl_basic"","""",""Billboard"",_spawn, _lifetime,[(_Pos select 0)+_radius*sin _randomdir,(_Pos select 1)+_radius*cos _randomdir,_height],[_right,_forward,_up],5,0.2,0.1568,0,[_size],[[_col1,_col2,_col3,0],_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,[_col1,_col2,_col3,0]],[0],_dirPeroid,_dirIntensity,"""", """",""""];" \n nvm. but i recommend you to use: http://www.exilemod.com/topic/9995-creepy-night-fog-for-exile/ looks way better.
