Level Design fire?

[Prodigy]

is there a fire actor included with the game? because i cant seem to find any and i would really like to make some candles or something, because right now all my lights come from nowhere, and thats pretty unrealistic.

emitters is what you need. standby for murphy.

I found the best way to learn was to open someone else's map and have a look at how things were put together.

For example open up KF-westlondon and look at the candles in the prison area of the map and you'll be able to see how it was all put together.

For a whole list of emitters

Actors> Emitters

For fire, select LevelFlame

Then under the properties of the emitter (f4)

If you want to change the size of the flame Emitter>SpriteEmitter...>Size>StartRangeSize

Also dont forget to go into the General> Maxparticles, and make it between 5-10 (if you have too many particles, you can expect lag)


Then when you want to add dmg to the fire, create a lava volume over the fire, then under the brush properties

Add damage per second

Adding a physics volume would be more advisable, lava volumes can crash the game if they kill you.

i looked into that, its because the damage type is wrong. setting it to Depressurized or Burned fixes it from crashing.

thanks guys i really appreciate your help!

edit: getting a flame JUST RIGHT is VERY DIFFICULT, i ended up just copying and pasting the emitter from westlondon underground candles.
