so ive got an rpg and im pretty noob at Lua so sorry if this is a basic question

ive got different areas and i want each area to have its own view distance fog, so when they walk through to the next area it sets their fog locally when they touch the brick

here is the script ive got which changes the whole games fog distance, idk how to change it to set it locally for the person who touched it

function onTouched(hit)
    game.Lighting.FogEnd = ("250")
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

To set it locally, you'd have to use FilteringEnabled. Which is a pain in the rear end. Believe me. A way to do this would be to create fog as a model or something, then do this: IN THE SCRIPT

function onTouched(hit)
    local localfog = script.LocalFog:Clone()
    localfog.Parent = hit.Parent
    localfog.Disabled = false
end

Then put a local script named "LocalFog" in the script that is disabled. This script would say something like:

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Fog = game.ReplicatedStorage.Fog:Clone() -- Replace game.ReplicatedStorage.Fog with whatever your FOG model is and where it is located.
Fog.Parent = Camera

hehe thanks, yeah ive heard FilteringEnabled is a nightmare so im probably going to just set a default fog for everywhere. nicros 165 — 9y

I've tried. You have to use remote events for almost everything. deputychicken 226 — 9y
