How to create Fog for 1 Player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I wanna create an invisible part, that turns the player’s fog more thickened, however I want it to only be done via client side so only the person that touches that part is affected, and then if you reset, the fog is set back to normal until you touch that part again, how would this be possible? If someone could go into detail on how it’s done, id appreciate!

Just use local script to add fog, use lighting in-built fog properties and change them

You need a LocalScript or Script with RunContext set to Enum.RunContext.Client to run code on the client.

To run code when the part is Touched, you need to ‘Connect’ a function to the BasePart.Touched event. This will trigger on any collision with the part, so you need to filter it to just the LocalPlayer, using something like Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter() on the Parent of the touching part (the character if the part is a body part), inversely you can use Humanoid.Touched to detect when the character touches a part, useful if you want to connect to lots of parts to avoid duplicated code.

To detect when the character has respawned, you connect to the Player.CharacterAdded event.

And finally for fog, you can use the Fog properties of the Lighting service, or for more realistic fog, an Atmosphere Instance parented to Lighting.

Tie them all together:

-- Services --
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Part = script.Parent -- The part that you want to connect .Touched to

Part.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart: BasePart)
	local character = otherPart.Parent

	-- Check if otherPart's parent is a character of the local player
	if character:IsA("Model") and Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) == LocalPlayer then
		-- And change the fog here!
	end
end)

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character: Model)
	-- Character respawned, reset the fog!
end)

Try This Local Script:

local PartName = "<Your Part Name In Workspace>"

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Tween

if Part:IsA("Part") then
    Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Parent == Player.Character then
            if Tween then
                Tween:Cancel()
            end
            Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(
                game.Lighting,
                TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),
                {FogEnd = 248, FogStart = 24, FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(34, 34, 34)}
            )
            Tween:Play()
        end
    end)
elseif PartName and workspace:FindFirstChild(PartName) then
    workspace:FindFirstChild(PartName).Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Parent == Player.Character then
            if Tween then
                Tween:Cancel()
            end
            Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(
                game.Lighting,
                TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),
                {FogEnd = 248, FogStart = 24, FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(34, 34, 34)}
            )
            Tween:Play()
        end
    end)
end
