For ESF? Use the entity tool and add an entity anywhere inside your map that is called "Fog". The properties for it are very self-explainatory. For non-ESF modifications, you will have to find a modification that uses Spirit of Half-Life and use their entity (the modification has to have Spirit coded in). Otherwise, there is no other way other than spamming some sprites, which is not a good idea if you want a playable map (0 FPS, max entity limit, etc).

thnks very much matey...
i have another question .... to make trees.. ( iknow there are tutorials) but can u donwload a prefab or something?

 

[DragonDude]

They're models, so you add them with env_model.
You might be able to find a brushmodel prefab, but I wouldn't recommend doing that.

 

[Optional]

Dragon wouldn't recommend them because they are so simple it would be a waste of harddrive space to make one. ENV_Model, set model name to the pine1.mdl. It's insanely hard. A clip brush around them, so you cannot go through them. Again, another mapping marathon.

Don't they have bounding boxes so that they are clipped for you already or something? I haven't worked with the new FGD other than trying out a func_train, so I'm not entirely sure.

Well, the bounding box is a square, and if you have a round model, the bounding box seems to stick out hte model everywere. So creating brushes inside the model might be better.

You can have the box perfectly around the model. The leaves are alpha-skinned. Around the trunk, yes. If you make it too small, then you can go through part of it.
