Toggle Render

This tutorial explains how to use console commands. No prerequisites are needed; you can use any map that you want.

The plugin is provided with Console Commands to tweak the render of the fog at runtime. This tutorial will explain how to enable and disable the render of the FOW.

Toggle Fog Render

You can toggle the render of the FOW on or off by using:

  • fow.r.EnableFOWRender 1 to enable the render
  • fow.r.EnableFOWRender 0 to disable the render

The toggle also affects the visible entity, allowing you to debug the objects moving in the fog at runtime.

Toggle Fog Channels

The FOW works with different channels, and for some debugging, it might be more useful to disable only one channel rather than the entire fog. Since the plugin can have up to 8 channels, the command uses a binary mask composed of 0s and 1s to enable or disable the channels:

  • fow.r.ChannelMask 00000011 enables the Seen and Sight channels
  • fow.r.ChannelMask 00000001 disables Seen and enables Sight channels
  • fow.r.ChannelMask 00000010 enables Seen and disables Sight channels
  • fow.r.ChannelMask 00000000 disables the Seen and Sight channels

Note that you can shorten the mask by omitting the 0s on the left; those will be automatically filled. fow.r.ChannelMask 10 works perfectly.
