Fog Script issue [ROBLOX ISSUE]

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My fog code is kinda not working for more information view the video below:
robloxapp-20221217-2237583.wmv (1.1 MB)

And here is the code:

-- Declare variables for the length of the day and night cycles
local dayLength = 150
local nightLength = 500

-- Create variables to track the current fog density and fade rate
local fogDensity = 0
local fogFadeRate = 0

-- Create a boolean variable to track whether it is currently day or night
local isDay = true

-- Create a timer to switch between day and night
local switchTimer = game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
	-- Decrement the length of the current cycle
	if isDay then
		dayLength = dayLength - 1
	else
		nightLength = nightLength - 1
	end
	
	-- If the current cycle has ended, switch to the other cycle and reset the timer
	if dayLength <= 0 then
		isDay = false
		dayLength = 150
	elseif nightLength <= 0 then
		isDay = true
		nightLength = 500
	end
	
	-- Update the skybox and lighting based on the current cycle
	if isDay then
		game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = 0
		game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.new(0.8, 0.8, 0.8)
		game.Lighting.OutdoorAmbient = Color3.new(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)
		
		-- Slowly decrease the fog density
		fogDensity = math.max(fogDensity - 0.01, 0)
		fogFadeRate = -0.01
	else
		game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = 0.5
		game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
		game.Lighting.OutdoorAmbient = Color3.new(0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
		
		-- Slowly increase the fog density
		fogDensity = math.min(fogDensity + 0.01, 1)
		fogFadeRate = 0.01
	end
	
	-- Update the fog density
	game.Lighting.FogEnd = 100 + fogDensity * 200
end)

So mind anyone helping me?

Fog doesn’t work if lighting contains an Atmosphere.

DayLength and NightLength are both less than 0 so this statement will always return true.

The lightning contains no atmosphere.

#5

So basically I am too dumb to fix that so mind helping me out or give me an explanation on how to fix that?

#6

No that part was fine, I don’t know why bro thought there was an issue there.

It might just be going too fast then. Maybe tweening the fog will help? Or maybe it’s the TimeOfDay you set since it’s not a string:

#8

A number does not need to be a string as it is an integer. I have figured out that maybe this can help:

if dayLength <= 0 or nightLength <= 0 then
  if dayLength <= 0 then
    isDay = false
    dayLength = 150
  elseif nightLength <= 0 then
    isDay = true
    nightLength = 500
  end
end

This isn’t the problem, my bad. It’s probably since TimeOfDay is a string and not a number.

#10

though TimeOfDay is a number, also not the issue.

Does it have something to do with the ROBLOX light engine going crazy again?

#12

TimeOfDay is a string, ClockTime is a number.

#13

Even tho I converted the number to a string now still doesn’t seem to fix it. The problem actually still occurs.

#14

I’m literally in studio right now, freely able to set the TimeOfDay to a number in the command bar and in a local script. It’s a number.

Change TimeOfDay to ClockTime.

#16

This still did not fix it. The fog is doing the same thing as shown in the video.

#17

set script run context to Server xd

#18

I am and it still doesn’t work.

#19

It is an ROBLOX based lightning error.
