fog question

[cassius]

Hi! Is there a way of fixing fog so that main character can walk out of fog into a clear sunny patch.

[macklebee]

Sure, make the fog out of particles with maybe a combination of adjusting the start of the fog range with SetFogRange().

[cassius]

thanks. I will give it a try.

I notice if you change the start fog range will achieve the same thing to make a area around the player not affected by fog

This is an interesting idea. I'm thinking maybe somehow use a PostEffect fog then thin it out or thicken it based on the distance of the cameraposition to the "center" of it. I'm going to try this. Something like:

output = mix(regular screen, foggy screen, distance(cameraposition , self.entity:GetPosition())))

Yeah this works. With this all you need to do is make a pivot, attach the script, and drag the player/camera into the script slot. The closer you get to the pivot the thicker the fog gets.
