fog effects and skybox?

[Mille25]

hi

i want to add some fog effects to my map.
at first i noticed that there seems to be no option to set the fog directly in the editor, what makes it very hard to find out what fog u like most because you always have to test the map to see results.

but even with triggers i cant get the fog working. my trigger:

• fog
  • Events
    • Game - Map initialization
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Environment - Set fog's color to (50%, 50%, 50%)
    • Environment - Set fog's start height to 0.0
    • Environment - Set fog's density to 1000.0
    • Environment - Set fog's falloff to 50.0
    • Environment - Set fog's enabled state to true

with 3dcam absolutly no fog visible... whats wrong with this? are the values so wrong? i got very nice fog in my wc3 maps so im a bit annoyed of this^^

edit: another problem: i cant get my skybox working, trigger:

• Events
  • Game - Map initialization
• Local Variables
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Environment - Set SkyBox background model to Avernus Skybox at 100.0% animation speed
  • Environment - Set SkyParallax background model to Avernus Sky Parallax at 100.0% animation speed

absolutly no skybox visible... without fog and skybox 3dcam quite sucks^^

Yeah a friend and I tested this also
It could be just cause they havent implemented into the editor yet but i could be wrong

I'v even looked all over the data-editor to find out how to do this, as with triggers it does not work. The only foggy-like thing I found to edit, was the fog-of-war, which is not what I need. Then I tried the lightning editor as well, made sense to me, that it would be there for some reason, it didn't work neither. The only way I found to create nice fog is by opening one of the other terrain-templates in the start when you create your map, some of the templates have a very nice fog if you create deep blizzard-cliffs. I also found something in the doodas section there might add fog with higher graphic settings ..

Good luck to others trying to solve this.

I'm pretty sure there's some fog doodads, although I may be wrong
