Hi there,

I was just wondering how to add fog in my map?
I did not found any tutorial to help me.

I am really sad no one is able to help people here.

It is really easy to add fog to your map, you just need to add one line to your *.gsc file.

Should be same in COD2, this is from COD4:

thanks for help.

Hey do can you help me in some issues i got?

Waittill(dead) dont work...
and i dont know how to tell an array of AIs to go to an array of Nodes(without colorgroups) (in-script)

can you help me?

Not trying to offend or attack you SPi, but how long did you search for your problem. If none that may be reason why no one posted until Ivan did. I searched for adding fog, and found the same post Ivan is quoting from within a minute. Not saying dont ask questions at all, just perform a small search before and then make a post if you still didnt find anything or did but cant make sense of what was said. If this is out of line then feel free to remove the above paragraph.

With that said...
The small chunk of code in your gsc file adds fog at an offset from the player, so it is always present at that distance which will limit visibility of all players which is why .KILL3R. says it encompasses the whole map.

To get something more along the lines of fog in specific places around a map you would need to work with FX and scripting some more in your gsc file. You might even have to modify some FX to get the right look your going for in your map. This would just decrease the visibility of players near the FX. Which is what .KILL3R. was getting at within the same post Ivan quoted from.

everything is on first page of the above link

TexasRebel, I understand and respect your points.
I actually searched only in the MODsonline Tutorials mostly for COD2 and a bit for COD4.

I didnt google (How to add fog in COD2) for example.
So I posted this topic.

However, I often deal with non-executing functions from my GSC.( i have issues on script)
for example, I call the array
wave_one targetname
and say want to wait untill they dead.
i found two functions that may do that. ( im not sure which on is the correct one)
wave_one waittill ("death");
or
waittill_dead(wave_one);
I tried both and the script just run passes the line like I never called it to waittill dead (i did not use both commands at once)

in cod4 the [waittill_dead(wave_one);] worked but after a few compiles, it stopped working.

I will send the COD2 script and please let me know.

Regards...

guys = [];
spawners = getentarray("foobar", "script_noteworthy");
for(i=0; i<spawners.size; i++)
    guys[i] = spawners[i] stalingradSpawn();//Make reference to AI that spawns from spawner

waittill_dead(guys);

waittill("death"); can you use only on single entity, either vehicle or AI.

Also I suggest you read CoD2 Mod Tools documentation and zeroy.com/script.
And check out _utility.gsc. One can learn a lot from these sources.

Thanks 3st0nian. I really have more scripting deadends but i wont bother you anymore.(if you dont insist)

Tnaks all bye

Just to clarify I wouldnt use google to search for something mapping/modding related, theres a search bar at top right of this site. It will search the modsonline website / forums / tutorials for words you enter in it. Makes it easier finding previous posts in various forums as you may be looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes.

I dont think there are any tuts on actually adding any fog for any of the cods (could be wrong). I know there are a few on editting FX tutorials though and how to add the FX via script.

BTW if something is confusing you script wise and havent found anything do post your questions.

Thats absolutely right.
Thanks for tips/

Well thank you.
