I have seen videos with other people having green fog or any other color. How do i change it?
I have tried searching for it. I tried to use fog_controller without luck. What to do?

Thank you I will try it tomorrow
EDIT:
I tried it, but it didn't go well.

These are my setting for env_fog_controller:

This is how it looks in my map:

I'm having Global_ents in my map. Is that wrong?

Well, if you send the global_ents instance an input, it can give you one of the preset fog colours. Try doing that with a logic_auto and experiment a little; it might be easier for you.

It could be, that HDR blooms your fog up. If that happens, it will get more "colorful" and you may see the small blue part of your grey looking fog.

I tried removing the global_ents with the result of no fog... or i couldn't see if there was just a very small piece of fog in the corners. I tried lowering the "start fog" and "end fog" but didn't help

Have you tried sending the global_ents instance an input like I suggested? It has preset fog colours, instead of that blue you're using now; alternatively, collapse it, and you can mix and match,

Is the fog just for a bottomless pit? If so, then you could always use triggers to enable/disable fog.

Changing the fog can be done by activating other env_fog_controllers, even of the global ents instance or you just change the color via inputs.
