Hmm ... this doesn't seem to work in TF2. At any rate, I've tried a whole bunch of different textures for both the brush and for the particles, both knee-deep and covering-the-entire-hallway versions, multiple brushes for one func_smokevolume, then one brush per entity, and nothing seems to work. Or at least, it only sometimes works, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency. Can anyone else confirm this, or figure out what's wrong? &mdash;[[User:Yar Kramer|Yar Kramer]] 21:27, 29 Aug 2008 (PDT)

:Try using the particle system instead. --[[User:Frostbite|JakeB]] 22:25, 29 Aug 2008 (PDT)

::That's, um, not particularly helpful. ''How'' should I "use the particle system instead"? For one thing, [[func_dustcloud]] doesn't do what I want and [[func_dustmotes]] don't work either; for another, there's no "knee deep in fog" option in [[List of TF2 Particles]]. If I were to make my own particle set, how would I include it with my map? With "particles_mapname.txt"? And why should I have to go out of my way to do something convoluted when all I want is the precise intended effect of the brush entity which this article is about? &mdash;[[User:Yar Kramer|Yar Kramer]] 10:33, 30 Aug 2008 (PDT)

== Performance ==

Doesn't it take a severe hit to performance to use smoke as fog? Or is this the only method available in the engine? [[User:Keyonte0|Keyonte0]] 16:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

== Density keyvalue broken? ==

In {{src13mp}} i played around with density and density ramp speed but no matter what combination of values i used it appeared to have no effect. --[[User:Sirhephaestus|Sirhephaestus]] ([[User talk:Sirhephaestus|talk]]) 06:12, 20 February 2024 (PST)
