Rain in fog?

Acid_Basik4

<div class="IPBDescription">Can you do it?</div>Scenario:

1. Map with fog.
2. Want rain in fog.
3. Made Beam with rain sprite.
4. Made 2 target entities and attached them to the beam.
5. Rain does not work.
6. Makes a discolored line though the fog...

Want rain in fog.
Need help.

Bad grammar...

you can cvreate fog with the env_for, only for opengl users :/
But the fog messes up stuff with the sprites, go test teh welder in a foggy area.

First off....sprites currently dont work correctly in the env_fog entity.
And second if you want to have rain in your map, i would strongly suggest using the particle system, much much better.
For fog i would suggest either a) not using fog <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> or b) using carefully placed sprites to simulate fog.
Thats untill (if) the fog entity can be fixed.

Bah...i really don't know... I'm not going to play around too much with all the fancy-pants fog/rain/steam/flowerbed effects in my first map.

Acid_Basik4

Wow.

That was probably the fastest response on a forum Ive ever seen.

I guess ill try to use the particle system.
Ill go look for the tutorial now.


Thanks.

I am responding to that just for the sake of doing so.

Kill me now!

Hey what's that supposed to mean?

I -think- the trick to do fog with sprites (so that you A. Don't have that horrible line and B. Have fog that EVERYONE sees, not just OpenGL users) is to use the env_sprite thing to do a fog sprite (I believe it's just this grey circle really really large) every 64 or 128 units on a very VERY low transparency.

Just a question though... why are you using env_beam with sprites to do rain? Why not the particle system? That's a MUCH more realistic way of doing rain.

well, ive seen an OpenGL hack so all effects in opengl works with direct3d as well
