why 3d text not affected by fog

Questions & Answers

I want my 3d text objects to be affected by the fog bug its not happening.

I've found a work around but I'm not pleased with it. is there a setting I'm missing or some way to make 3d text easily affected by fog (or get dimmer the farther away I get from it?)

Here's the shader I'm using (its custom made):

Shader "GUI/3D Text Shader" {

Properties {
   _MainTex ("Font Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
   _Color ("Text Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
}

SubShader {
   Tags { "Queue"="Transparent" "IgnoreProjector"="True" "RenderType"="Transparent" }
   Lighting Off Cull Off ZWrite On Fog { Mode Off }
   Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
   Pass {
      Color [_Color]
      SetTexture [_MainTex] {
         combine primary, texture * primary
      }
   }
}
}

Ps I tried to change the "liting off culling off zwrite on fog {mode off}" to "...{mode on}" but that just made it not work at all.

Also, I found this code:

Fog { Color [_AddFog] }

I added it in under Tags and it didn't give an error, but it didn't change anything.

Use a material with a shader that has fog in it; the default doesn't (obviously).

I dont know an shader code but it seems to me that it should be:

Shader "GUI/3D Text Shader" {

Properties {
   _MainTex ("Font Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
   _Color ("Text Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
}

SubShader {
   Tags { "Queue"="Transparent" "IgnoreProjector"="True" "RenderType"="Transparent" }
   Lighting Off Cull Off ZWrite On Fog { Mode On }
   Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
   Pass {
      Color [_Color]
      SetTexture [_MainTex] {
         combine primary, texture * primary
      }
   }
}
}

Like I said before I don't really know that much about shaders but you can try that.

You’re telling it to turn off with

Fog { Mode Off }

Tell it

Fog { Mode Global }

Global means it will take the settings from the global render settings described in the Unity editor, so of course you need to turn that on and set it to your liking. You can also override the global settings by entering your own settings inside of these brackets, as described at the link shared earlier.
