help setting up a unit dying on fire

[carlinho]

how can you set up a unit to die covered in fire?
I though it was a matter of setting up in the flags in projectile "can set landscape on fire"
and "is on fire" but didn't work out that way....

thanks!

To make a unit die with fire on them is a model/collection thing. The images of that have to exist to even be possible. It won't be created on their own.

[carlinho]

ah...bummer, I thought by adding the internal fire effect to the projectile of the dying unit it could be done....

maybe a 1.8 thingy?

Couldn't it be done just by adding a local projectile group of fire and smoke to the 'dying body' projectile or something like that? I've made units whose bodies smoke when they die, so why not fire?

[Pyro]

Yeah that could be done, but it might not look right. I guess you would need to try it to find out.

in cpr when the helicopter crashes sometimes a soldier is ejected from the crash that is on fire and dances around screaming...

its just a projectile group... with the units im on fire animation and fire. though I guess now with projectile to unit it could be an actual unit utilizing burning death.


by adding a local projectile group of fire to the unit just like wight flies it should flame up...
