Problem with func_dustcloud
#1 · March 3, 2013, 6:52 am
I'm attempting to use a func_dustcloud entity to create a low-lying fog/smoke effect as in this tutorial. However, I'm getting opaque white blocks instead of fog:
Any ideas?

The func_dustcloud is broken in Portal2. Try using a fog_volume altogether with a fog_controller instead.
useful tools and stuff here on TWP

Ah, thanks. Will try that.

Yeah - he'd made a cheeky edit.

I think I could achieve what I'm after with an info_particle_system but none of the existing particles seem to quite fit the bill. I'll try using the particle editor but according to this it's not supported in Portal 2. 
Even if you can get the particles in portal 2, you can't pack them into the bsp =/

Ah well. Onto the next challenge!

There are dust particles in the game you can try: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_Portal_2_Particles
Alternatively, maybe env_dustpuff can create what you want as well.
