Ok, so I need some help with interactive fire. Two things in specific: I want zombies to catch fire when they walk through a trigger that's placed over the fire (the way it's set up now they just catch fire at spawn and I don't know why, so if someone doesn't have their own way I'll post the scripts I've added). And I would like to know how to set it to catch the player on fire when they walk through the fire, like in nacho der untoten. But with a hurt trigger. Any help is appreciated!
With zombies it's easy, just a dodamage in a function with some checks, but for players you need to check their health, and if it will down them, do a radius damage instead.
I think I used .is_on_fire before to set things on fire, zombies, players, but can't check right now. You can use setburn for the players to get a flame screen.
Right but that doesn't actually harm the olayer...as far as the zombies go that's what I've attempted but I've clearly done something wrong because they just spawn already on fire and the flame triggers don't do anything..give me a bit I'll post my spawner.gsc and mapname.gsc. (the scripts I added the code to)
K, cool. I'd use a trigger multiple myself, is that what your using. If it us undefined, probably a typo or something, it would cause unexpected issues.

I would use a trigger and thread a function on trigger, determine if it is player or zombie, check if on fire, and so on. Plus I think setting the object.is_on_fire = true sets things on fire. Can't remember specifically.

well i have the fire fx working, it just doesnt interact with the environment. let me go implement the code you gave me ill be right back
K, it was setting them on fire right away because the error you had was trying to see if it was touching the entire array, instead of checking each volume, which made it pass as true and set them on fire.
no dice...id actually had that changed in the script from before i just posted the original backup script..is is because im using an info volume instead of a trigger?

That should have been your issue. You'll have to add some prints, see what is going on, make sure everything is defined
} self thread HandleFire();//stay on fire for a little after damage wait .5;// damage every .5 seconds self.flamedamage = undefined; } HandleFire(){ self endon("death"); self notify("putout"); self endon("putout"); self.is_on_fire = true; wait 3;//how long to be on fire for self.is_on_fire = false; }
This isn't tested, or completed, just did it in my phone. The theory is what I mean, using trigger multiples.

Hmm ill give this a try!! thank you! Double Post Merge: April 24, 2016, 05:10:55 pmThe console says entry thread setfire (); is an unrecognized function (I copied and pasted that, if the colon us off in this message ignore that)
