myst coming up from the ground

No, I was just wondering if there was any other way. Hey, I'm a beginner at this, I've only just heard of the drop command. I really don't think there's any call for that tone.

Hehehe, sorry about that. I was just wondering if you were using objects to make fog (It's been done with nukes before).

[Torak]

So far I've just used the fog slider on the weather screen, and the rather lovely CAT weather effects. The fire effects are a bit dodgy, but the storm effects are marvellous (if a bit sparse)

Are there any good blizzard effects? I found a snow script, and I found the CAT snowstorm, but I'm trying to find a real whopper of a blizzard...

Can't be hard to do that, just modify that snow script you have a bit.

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

Get the Tonal Island addon by BAS.  It has an excellent mist maker/fog drop script in it.

The only prob with that is its a biig file for anyone not oh broadband (But I will be soon!! )

Here's v 0.96 of my fog script for Nightstalker. It's very picky and takes a lot of variables, but it allows you to create very specialized fog effects. You can turn it off when it's running by setting variable fogoff to 1.


Format: [object,amount,size,life,startalt,velocity,zvelocity,mercytimer] exec "drg_fog.sqs"

Object - Object that fog particles originate from.
Amount - # of fog particles produced per cycle.
Size - Size of each particles.
Life - How long each particle lasts before it's deleted.
Startalt - The height at which each particle starts.
Velocity - The xy velocity of each particle.
ZVelocity - The upward velocity of each particle.
Mercytimer - Time between creation cycles.

Example 1: [fog_mkr1,40,1,30,-1.5,1,0.15,2] exec "drg_fog.sqs"
Note: This creates fog that radiates up from the ground.

Example 2: [fog_mkr1,40,1,20,0.5,1,0,3] exec "drg_fog.sqs"
Note: This creates fog that glides along the ground.

Keep in mind that this is an older version of the fog script. Please comment if you can't get the script to work, it may have bugs in it.

Mist, not myst. Mist is fog, Myst is a really crappy series of games ;D .

I'm afraid you're wrong.   Myst was a great game, for its time anyway. I'll never forget locking that guy up in the basement of the library....
