Attaching Fire to something

Post by Wilson »

Hey all, is it possible to attach fire to a "bomb" as we would like to introduce Napalm to our Vietnam Mod but we are not sure how to get fire to come from the bomb and spread?

bind and glue

Well the normal commands are bind or glue. But, those only work for entities and not a splinepath bomb. They work like this (using targetnames).

$myfire bind $mybomb
That one will attach the fire entity to the bomb enitity and it will maintain the same distance from it when the bomb is moved.

$myfire glue $mybomb
This one will move the fire to the bombs origin and attach it using the angles of the bomb.

Other useful commands are...

$myfire anim stop
$myfire anim start
unbind
unglue
