How to add steam to my map?

[Sieni]

I'm making a sauna to my map and I need some steam/fog. What should I do with those entities?

 

[Ravioli]

env_steam and env_fog_controler i think

env_steam makes my sauna look like it's burning I need something to block some visibility

 

[Deleter]

i beleive there is either a flag or a setting on env_steam that says heat or normal. i think it is a setting. if you put that to heat it might get you what you want. also you can choose visibility, spread, speed, and number of particles to get a slower moving, more spread out or whatever you may want sort of effect. :thumbs: hope that helps.

Millasta karttaa sä teet ku siin on sauna?
(translation for non-finnish ppl)
What kind of map are you making if there's sauna in it?

Right, I don't know but... Shouldn't steam be changable in color.. etc?
I do suggest env_smokestack though, it can be made to look like steam, I guess, and it blocks visability. Question is how good performance you need, if it's a seculded area or not.

there is a setting in steam for heat and smoke, change it to smoke

I'd make volume fog.

I'd make volume fog.

How would you go about that?

Create a NODRAW brush in your sauna room and tie it to a func_cloud (dustcloud maybe) entity, then fiddle with the settings.

Damn that's close to Ica.. and Line usually means a cruiser, mind telling me what the name's all about?

Heh, it's only a rip-off of a finnish spa named Ikaalinen. Going to post some screenshots soon.
