Wrecking Crew Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Is there a way to increase the fog height during a mission?

DarkFire Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Don't think so, unless the dynamic weather system is capable of affecting it in some way...?

Blooze Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) If you start a mission at an airfield with a high elevation (Beslan) and fly towards an AO with a much lower elevation (Mozdok) the fog level will be zero at Beslan but develop and increase as you approached Mozdok. Wouldn't that create the effect you are looking for? Example miz attached.fog.miz Edited May 29, 2015 by Blooze [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Wrecking Crew Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 I have the fog dialed in so it is just covering Kutaisi Airbase. As Red moves northeast to Kutaisi City I want the fog level to increase to hide the Red advance. This is the Fog Of War mission.

Wrecking Crew Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 Fog is modeled in Dynamic Weather but there is no setting that is variable throughout the mission, unlike the rotation that can be applied to the cyclones.

Blooze Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 The way I see it, the only way to accomplish the goal is to select areas on the map that would vary in elevation enough to produce the desired results before the mission was created. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

WC I don't think anyone has mined the game engine lua scripting to the extent where weather is that controllable. It would definitely be useful though...

Grimes Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I don't think anyone has mined the game engine lua scripting to the extent where weather is that controllable. It would definitely be useful though... Its more of a limitation of the weather simulation and a lack of control over different system. Can't change anything when the control just isn't there.
