Could someone be kind enough to direct me to a tutorial on how to add/create a fog effect on my SP map? I've searched all over and can't seem to find one

works the same as in MP maps

setCullFog(0, 5000, .58, .57, .57, 0);

for instance

Thanks, I'll try it out

I added the lines in my .gsc file folder and after finishing what I was doing to my map, I compiled it. There is no fog effect at all . I didn't get any script errors when I ran the map. What could be the problem?I got a feeling that it was supposed to go into the fx file folder. Any suggestions?
Below is my .gsc file:

#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_anim;
#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()

{

maps\_load::main();
maps\newmap_fx::main();

//seExpFog (0.00007, .75, .84, .86, 0):
setCullFog ( 1300, 16000, 0.78, 0.84, 0.86, 0);
level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon("thompson");
level.player giveWeapon("colt");
level.player giveWeapon("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon("colt");

precacheshader("black");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_1");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_2");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_3");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_4");

maps\_introscreen::introscreen_delay
(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_1",
&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_2",
&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_3",
&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_4");



}

The code should be:

main()

{

maps\_load::main();
maps\newmap_fx::main();

setExpFog (0.00007, .75, .84, .86, 0);
setCullFog ( 1300, 16000, 0.78, 0.84, 0.86, 0);
level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon("thompson");
level.player giveWeapon("colt");
level.player giveWeapon("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon("colt");

precacheshader("black");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_1");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_2");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_3");
precacheString(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_4");

maps\_introscreen::introscreen_delay
(&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_1",
&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_2",
&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_3",
&"STRINGS_NEWMAP_INTRO_4");



}

The "//" was commenting out the line so it wasn't read & was just being treated as a comment rather than code... Also it should say "setExpFog" not "seExpFog" and it should be a semicolon at the end of the line instead of a colon...

Hope that helps!

I tried this but it didn't work

don't use both CullFog and Exp fog at the same time.. use one or the other.
Regarding your first .gsc file (with the ExpFog commented out), the fog only starts at 1300 units and will become completely grey at 16000 units.. that's probably a bit much.

Try one of the fog lines from one of the stock map files.

setExpFog(0.00015, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 0);

from mp_toujane for instance.
