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.

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?

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...
