FIRE!!!! how do i make it?? Created 20 years ago2004-01-17 12:46:52 UTC by Dark Phoenix

Heres may scene: Ive got a turned over truck blocking a tunnel entrance. I want fire all around the truck. How do i make fire?

I know its a sprite but im not too good on sprites and ive had a go at testing them but they look so crap. Depending on which fire sprite i choose, i can have one that no matter how you look at it its always facing you (hate that one! looks just like Duke nukem!) or i can have this edited one where its fixed, but it only faces one way. when i tested it i got the black background of the sprite. I tried making it clear like you do normally, didnt work.

Could someone give me tips as to how to make the perfect fire! please!

Thanks!

0ops, forgot to mention, set the renderamt of the sprite to alter its transparency, and set the render mode on the glow to 'glow' btw

and you can use the custom appearence on the light to meke it flicker like fire

also theres a cycler ent that makes big black smoke. good 4 wreckage.

Cycler_wreckage or something. But I don't think it's switchable. Just trigger some sprites, experiment, they aren't difficult.

on the down side, they can get a bit laggy - fps eaters

Thanks alot, i figured it out thatnks to you guys! Cheers!

My cliche flaming truck blocking tunnel entrance looks good.
