Ground Fog - Guide

In your mission.pbo

Code:

      };
        class Item4
        {
            side="LOGIC";
            class Vehicles
            {
                items=1;
                class Item0
                {
                    position[]={6742.6514,300.82608,7825.8774};
                    placement=12000;
                    special="NONE";
                    age="ACTUAL";
                    id=187;
                    side="LOGIC";
                    vehicle="Logic";
                    leader=1;
                    skill=0.60000002;
                    init="[this,12000,12000,7,20] exec ""fogs.sqs""";
                };
            };

this means fog from 20 o'clock to 7 o'clock and fog should disapear after 0.9 sec +- the #waittoactivate 0.15 sec. just use my code for example.

in your fogs.sqs

Code:

_height=-2.5
_Rradius=500
_Cloudalpha=1.5
?((Player distance _Center)>_dist1):_Cloudalpha= 1-(((Player distance _Center) - _dist1)/(_dist2- _dist1))
_radius=(random 0.2)+random _Rradius
_angle=(random 360)
_size = 15
_col = 1
_CC=[_col,_col,_col,.7*_Cloudalpha]
drop ["\ca\data\cl_basic", "", "Billboard", 50,50,  [(getpos Player select 0)+_radius*(sin(_angle)),(getpos Player select 1)+_radius*(cos(_angle)),_height],[1,1,1],20 , 0.2, 0.1568, 0,[_size], [[_col,_col,_col,0],_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,_CC,[_col,_col,_col,0]], [0],0,0,"", "",""]
_i=_i+1
?(_i<900):goto "loop"
~1
?(count _this == 3): goto "bigloop"
goto "nighttest"
#waittoactivate
~150
goto "nighttest"

#waittoactivate ~150 is the time to start check for the servertime
Example

Example

Also u need to set time on your server.
for example: [GMT+2]
just put it in your servername and it should work.

Sorry for my english.

Alright so I want the fog to appear along the coast only. So say from kamenka to up past berenizno and only go inland about 1000 to 1500m.

What values do I need to change? I edited the following line but it still spawns on the whole map...

Code:

init="[this, 1000, 16000, 7, 19] exec ""fog.sqs""";

C.Project · May 31, 2013

In order to get the best result i would do it like this

035AED643BD6B2D017C4B811CD90A645B549C5C5

so as u can c here, i've set many logics arround the coast maybe 100m-200m inland.Since Yac (the orginal creator of this script) used gamelogic instead of triggers u would do it like this.
Code example for one elipse:

Code:

init="[this,500,500] exec ""fogs.sqs""";

no time set for purpose test.
Best way is to start DayZ mod make a Lan Game and load your mission.sqm with the Editor.

Just put your fog.sqs in:
Drive:\Users\User\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\Profile\MPMissions\Map
together with your mission file

feel free to ask more

I cannot get this working for the life of me

I've put all the code in the right place but no fog ;'(

Need more info for help:

--- RPT log ---
--- Where did you get stuck at ? ---
--- did u edit/set your fog.sqf ? and if how ? ---
--- how did u edit/set your mission.sqm class item for the fog.sqs ? ---

I copied everything from the origninal post into the mission.sqm file and created the fogs.sqs file. I've run through the code to miss out glaring spelling mistakes but no cigar.

Is there anything I need to do above and beyond the original post?
I've installed loads of custom mods/scripts and this is the only one to cause me hassle lol.

I like your idea of Fog aswell C.project, it should cascade from the cost line and become less visible in land. How would I conver your logic for my game....providing I get this working lol.

depends on what u have done ? did u set up a time based fog (were u have to set server time)
or 24/7 fog ?
Have u checked items=XX; so u dont have dobule "class Item10" for example ?

Our server runs tons of mods and extra features and sometimes,
just for me and other admin,
the fog isnt starting a loop it takes a while for it to do
but normal player see the fog from start to end.
Also happens when teleporting from A to B.

simple copy the class items and paste them to your mission.sqm and adjust items=XX;
under class groups.
and to make it less visible inland just set 2 bigger triggers on East and south site of map ....
adjust your fog.sqs at line 18 "_Cloudalpha=0.7"

It was a time based factor I used, I tried a few people's code to be honest. Thanks for the help this far, it's genuinely appreciated. See if I upload my mission.sqm and fogs.sqs do you think you could have a look at it and help me get it working?

C.Project · Jun 4, 2013

Sure just upload.

well if it was time based u had set time on your server ? best way to see is when DayZ Commander shows the servertime on your server

SgtRedPhoenix · Jun 4, 2013

This is a stripped back version of my my Mission.sqm I use various when testing something. If I can get working code i'll import it. The Server time was GMT+3 when I tested it.

If I get this working i'll give your logic a go. Your logic looks more realistic than fog everywhere.

well i can see one thing that is wrong allrdy
the fog under the class OutroLoose

but give me 10 15 min + a smoke.

Edit:

Your new mission.sqm

Your new fog.sqs

Greatz

Blooming Heck mate! that was fast! Honestly thanks for your help!

Is the time still 8pm? I'll need to test this later

and then attempt to import your logic into my game

C.Project · Jun 4, 2013

this is still your mission file with the only 1 fog trigger that was at the end of file.
so u still have to add the other 65 fog classes ^.^ but now u have an example on how to....
anyways if i am not to bored i will to it right now and reupload your mission if u are allright with my mission.sqm so that the fog is only at coast area ....

If you could that would be legendary

if not i'll work my way through it. I only want fog/mist at the cost anyway its not logical to have it anywhere else imo

C.Project · Jun 4, 2013

if u use my example fog.sqs it will probably look good everywhere but thats just my opinion

I'm going to

. Is there an easy way to get the fog to spawn all over the map or do I need to put more logics?

Your mission.sqm my coastfog in it.

Yea, just use one class item of fogs.sqs

Thanks

I appreciate the effort you have put in to help me

.

The items at the bottom would I just add them to the mission for all over fog? time restricted and 24/7?

C.Project · Jun 4, 2013

either u want 24/7 or 8-20 o'clock fog u have to edit
8-20

Code:

init="[this,12000,12000,8,20] exec ""fogs.sqs""";

24/ 7

Code:

init="[this,12000,12000] exec ""fogs.sqs""";

in each class
for fog everywhere its the same but less work coz there is only 1 class of fog =)

SgtRedPhoenix · Jun 4, 2013

Nice one. 24/7 is a tad overkill imo.

So to confirm, would code below give me all over fog between 8-20?

};
class Item1
{
side="LOGIC";
class Vehicles
{
items=1;
class Item0
{
position[]={6732.3652,301.50659,7825.8496};
placement=12000;
id=188;
side="LOGIC";
vehicle="Logic";
leader=1;
skill=0.60000002;
init="[this,12000,12000,8,20] exec ""fogs.sqs""";
};
};
