Asking purely out of curiosity because I love using the map maker to create unique places to make a city and every time I get to the environment tab I see "Large Smoke Marker" and am so confused as to what you'd use that for? It just makes smoke generate out of the ground? The only use I can think of is scenery outside of the playable area to give the impression of a distance city or smoke in a volcano. But with both of those that'd take a lot of fiddling to make it look like its not just coming out of the ground and for something that is "large" is only about the height of a tree. Anyone actually used this in any of their maps? I'm curious to see it in use.
Use for "Large Smoke Marker?"

I tried to use them for a volcano but they are just so tiny that you can't even see them from a short distance. I was hoping that you would be able to scale the size of the smoke or something.
I've never been in the map maker so I'm just guessing here.
As it is about the size of a tree, is it possible that some smoke, normally used for a burning building in-game, was placed in the map maker by mistake - not really meant to be used on a custom map?
That being said if someone has found a use for it, post it up. Would like to see it as well.

Smoke markers look good near a BBQ in a park... My attempts at cooking steak often result in large amounts of smoke (and sometimes flame!).
