hey, I read taht "tutorial thing" about fires and sprites, but does anyone know how to make a torch that will stay on and not go off after a while in my map? (i'm making a medievil theme for my map and need torches).

If you download my map, you can steal my sprite - prioryflame.spr
It's a flame that I use on my torches, but you can size it down to fit a candle too.

unless it's triggered it should stay on forever.

there are sprites that you can get, only way. you can make a light and change the style of the light to what you think would style the fire juuuust rignt,

Theres a fire sprite. Just set the size to, li,e 0.1 or something

What kind of sprite are you guys talking about? I know mine really would suck for torches or candels, it really doesn't look like a flame- Just alot of little spectrums of red, yellow. its not the greatest so if theres another way let me know.

well.....use my sprite then......

There are lots of DEFAULT fire sprites. ind which one you need then shrink it down to size.

Just make the flame, and put a light in with it. Set the light up to have a, err, flame looking colour!

For the torch:
Make a wooden spike and flip it upsidedown. Then make a thin crete box and put it in the middle of the torch for a mount. Add a sprite. Put sprites/fire.spr under the sprite location. Add a light and a firsound if u want to.

For a candle:
Make a tall, but thin stick. Stick it on a base. You have a candle. add a fire sprite but make it VERY small. Put a light in.
