Hello, I started to code in LUA for the first time, and this is my first script I made. I wanted it to be so when the player enters a trigger zone, the fog intensity will change to 100, and the blue colour in the fog will change to 99. However, in game, nothing seems to be changing. What am I doing wrong?

Well for a start the name of the script has to match the name of the 'init' and 'main' functions so the script should be called setfog.lua.

Whenever I create a new script I put Prompt("got here") in main somewhere just so I know it is running.

Try it out, I haven't personally played around with the fog commands yet.

Try this one.

What would probably be a better way of doing it though would be to have an entity with a script on it and the closer the player is to the entity the more foggy you make it, sort of a gradual transition rather than a switch on/off effect.
