Having some troubles figuring out how to increase fog settings without setting to an exact value.

For example:

SetFogNearest((GetFogNearest+1))

SetFogNearest(GetFogNearest+1)

SetFogNearest(+1)

SetFogNearest + 1

SetFogNearest = SetFogNearest + 1

None of the above work unfortunately. Is it possible to increase and decrease with the Set...etc... commands? I'm trying to do this with fog, ambient lighting and surface lighting.

EDIT:

So i tried this and it worked. But was hoping it be a bit more simpler than this:

temp = temp + 1
SetFogNearest(temp)

But how do you actually compare with a value like Fog?

if GetFogNearest > temp then

doesn't not work :/ returns error saying you cant compare a function to a value.

EDIT #2:

temp = GetFogNearest(e)

Seems to have worked as a way to detect the fog position. I guess from here i can figure out the rest. I'm working on a night and day weather system from scratch and its going extremely well so far.

Yes, for some reason you need to specify an entity value in some of the instructions before they will work.

Remember though that if you just stick it in a script:

SetFogNearest( GetFogNearest(e) + 1 )

Then it will get called every frame so you will effectively just max out the value before you have had a chance to see it working, better to create a function which increments the value until it reaches a specific value then stops:

local fogDistInc = 1

local function IncreaseFogDist( e, toValue )
local fogDist = GetFogNearest( e )
if fogDist < toValue then SetFogNearest( fogDist + fogDistInc ) end
end

yes these kind of lua commands need a very good guide, i'm having similar issues with the field of view of the player.
