CreateMist(<-pos <-initParams)

Creates a mist at the specified position. A mist is a small piece of 'fog'. The init params control its behavior. The possible values in initTable are:

• “color” : The color of the mist. White is the default color. A Vector.
• “color2” : If specified, the mist color will be randomly lerped from color to color2.
• “birthtime” : The amount of time, in frames, that the mist will not fade. The mist's total lifetime is birthtime+fadetime.
• “fadetime” : The amount of time, in frames, that the mist fades out. The mist's total lifetime is birthtime+fadetime.
• “direction” : The direction and speed that the mist moves. A Vector.
• “startradius” : The radius around the starting position that the mist is created. A random location is chosen with the radius. The direction is perpendicular to the plane that the starting point will be in.
• “endradius” : The radius around the 'ending' position that the mist is created. The ending position is at a distance based on the direction vector. The end is not related to the birth and fade time.

Each value in the color and color2 vectors is a floating point number where 1 is full brightness and 0 is minimal brightness. Values over 1 make the mist glow.

There is a hidden hard cap for the amount of mist that can exist. You won't be hitting that anytime soon normally. Either long-duration or something of spontaneous creation of multiple mists every frame is possible to hit it.

#This creates a ring-shaped burst of mist particles near the bottom-left corner of the map
#Since "direction" represents a vertical axis (in this case "up"), the ring will expand horizontally around said axis
#By swapping the "startradius" and "endradius" values, the ring will instead collapse inward
