Do you mean the neurotoxin color? If you do, then type "Human_cleanser_cheap" in the "Particle System Name" for "info_particle_system."

If you meant the screen turning into a different color, then I have no clue.

What about using a env_fade set to a green colour with 70/80/90% opacity?

That should give the illusion of being surrounded by neurotoxin.

I guess I could try the env_fade thing, but I meant with the color correction, if that's possible.

Yeh i geuss you could use both... but the env_vade would be great for when the gas levels gets to "high" sorta speak... just before u die (20/30% opacity or something) so u really get the idea of getting gassed.

and then when the gas starts flowing you can have it come in at 70/80/90% opacity.

I plan on using the neurotoxins in some maps in the near future so i'll also get cracking i geuss... maybe i will release a cool neurotoxin prefab/tutorial. (if i get it working how i want)

Oh, well then that's a much better way. But is it possible to make it change opacity at those times?

Havnt played with the env_fade that much yet... but i know it can be triggered and set a certain colour, fadein and/or fadeout time and opacity %.

I think using a fade would look a lot worse than color correction, but yeah I guess you could use it.

Yeh it does end up looking kinda cheap so far... maybe if you use it just reallyy slightly... like 5% together with other effects(color correction, fog_controller, etc. etc.)...

I will try that tomorow after i get some rest
