ScriptScript is in the Demo.
InstructionsJust put above Main.
Set the Altitude by running a Script: "set_cloud_altitude( altitude, x[optional], y[optional])"
X and Y are speeds. You can use Negative Numbers for all of the parameters.
CompatibilityNo known issues. If you find one, please let me know and I promise to laugh at you, then I'll try to fix it, I swear!

Author's NotesFog with a High Altitude is a Cloud. A Cloud with no Altitude is a Fog. Clouds can have a Negative Altitude, which allows them to show below your Terrain and over any Panoramas. I've found that setting an Altitude of -12 seems to work pretty well, especially when there is no X or Y speeds.
There is an additional script provided in the Demo that shows you information on your current Cloud Settings. This script also allows you to change those settings in the Demo without having to restart each time you want to change a setting. It is a separate script because you probably dont want your Players to be able to adjust the Cloud Settings the way you can in the Demo.
