Fog???

| Hey guys it's Hale here, can anyone lead me step by step on how to make my own fog? Any help or suggestions will definitely help me to create fog in my FPS. |

| You have the option of using blitz3D's hardware accelerated camera fog via: CameraFogMode(Cam%, Mode%) CameraFogRange(Cam%, Near#, Far#) CameraFogColor(Cam%, R, G, B) Note: Also play with CameraCLSColor() for the best effect. Or, you can do something along the lines of using sprites to billboard fog (the details of this I'll leave you to think about because the system can be very simple(Less efficient) or very complex(more efficient). Play with normal camera fog, and if it doesn't yeild the results you want, come and ask some specific questions. |

| I am looking for more of the fog rolling onto the battlefield type thing. I have heard of using sprites for fog but I have never actually had it explained it to me?? Care to enlighten me??? |

| You're talking about a particle system. That's a pretty complex project; if you want to write a particle system, there are certainly plenty of knowledgeable people who can help. Personally though, I'd rather save myself the time and effort and use one of the existing particle systems (single-surface is best.) Look in the Toolbox, in Other Libs. |
| ||
| So where can I find Pyro, it sounds like something I need?? |
| ||
| The toolbox if anywhere(been out of things here for a while.) |

| Alright Im REALLY strapped for money at this exact point in time, college isn't cheap theese days, as I have come to find out. But I have looked at the RottParticle System from the toolbox. They don't really show any tutorials or anything, so could anyone help me out with this sitiation?? |

| ..there is Lotus particle system, completely free and excellent, written by Noel Cower...download it, give some credit to Noel in your game and enjoy.. |
| ||
| I couldn't find any useable links to get the Lotus Particle System in the toolbox, so it looks like Im back to the drawing board..again!!:) - Thanks Anyways guys |
| ||
| Why don't you start a project to write your own simple particel system? There's plenty of threads on here about them :o) |

Other partice systems (from toolbox section...): http://www.blitzbasic.com/toolbox/toolbox.php?tool=110 (free) http://www.blitzbasic.com/toolbox/toolbox.php?tool=50 (free) http://www.blitzbasic.com/toolbox/toolbox.php?tool=106 (20€) |
