Put black fog in your level at the distance the light should "stop" at?

Change "X" to the distance from the camera you want the fog to be. 1 segment is 100 units wide, so 4 segments away would be 400.

To be a little more constructive, (while I dont know the exact solution to the problem) if you want it to always happen, then get rid of the state=0 bit at the beginning, or the other way around.... but then again, it doesnt leave state=0, so it really doesnt matter.

As for your use of fogblue, you didnt apply a value.

And with the extra state=0 bit at the end, you don't want the third colon behind it, you only want two (one signaling beginning of conditions, one signaling beginning of actions and end of conditions). Also, you don't even really need the state=0 at the end, because you are already in state=0. I hope that you figure out how to solve your problem.

yeah i know i thought it was stupid to have the 3rd colon but the fog tutorial in the Community guide had it so i said what the heck

but ok

@ply- its supposed to be making the fog black and close up to me at a distance but all it does is make the floors and ceilings black at that disntance

Is Full Shader Effects turned on? If it is, try turning that off to see if it makes a difference.

Shaders = bad. They don't work on some objects and I don't know how to turn them on or off. Hehe, I don't need em though.
