Note:
Alien Swarm does not use the origin of a player to decide which fog volume they are in, but rather camera position. Due to this, you must make sure that your fog volume is taller (height) then the highest point a marines camera can reach, i.e: The distance from the camera in height from the marine.
Note:In mods using 
Source 2007 and 
Source 2013 you can create client-side fog-changing functionality in a multiplayer game using instead trigger_multiple. Have at least 2 env_fog_controller with different fog settings and one checked with Master flag. Use
Note:In 
(and perhaps other games), binding multiple brushes to fog_volume will produce the fog effect for the bounding box of the group of brushes i.e. if you have 2 blocks for fog_volume in an L-shaped hallway, standing in a room in the inside corner of that hallway will trigger the fog as well
Note:
Xengine does not have a postprocess_controller entity.

fog_volume is an e2 available in 
Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, 
Black Mesa, and 
Mapbase. It controls fog and other visual cinematic elements within its volume. It is necessary to have at least one fog_volume in order for (a master) color_correction to take effect in the Left 4 Dead series.
Warning:Affects players based on its AABB instead of the actual brush model (tested in )Tip:There is a Fog Panel in Left 4 Dead 2 that allows in-game manipulation of fog parameters. It is loaded via console command fogui. This command exists in Portal 2, but will not work unless resource/foguipanel.res is copied from another game.Tip:Use tools/toolsfog texture for your fog volumes to quickly distinguish them from triggers while level creation.Note: Alien Swarm does not use the origin of a player to decide which fog volume they are in, but rather camera position. Due to this, you must make sure that your fog volume is taller (height) then the highest point a marines camera can reach, i.e: The distance from the camera in height from the marine.Note:In mods using Source 2007 and Source 2013 you can create client-side fog-changing functionality in a multiplayer game using instead trigger_multiple.
