When you shoot someone with a flamethrower an animation plays where they are burning, and they lose health.

Is there any way to make it so a unit permanently "burns" (i.e. has the fire animation, but doesn't lose health)?

having hte animation attached to him from the start i dont think is possible. However, when i made a gun that had the com_sfx_inf_damage_fire as its impact effect, the fire sticks to the person but doesnt do any continuous damage.

so theres no way to, like, take the fiery-trooper animation that is used with the flamethrower, and make it part of the odf?

I was wondering this too I wanted to make JabbaLovesLava on fire in my GT Map V1.2 (FINAL)

Actually, I think that there might be.

Try adding this to your unit's odf: You'll probably want to find a fire effect from somewhere instead of com_sfx_vehiclesmoke and attach it to a different bone--I just copy/pasted from another odf that I have lying around here. But theoretically that should make your unit start smoking as soon as it reaches 100% health (as soon as it spawns.)

lol thats pretty funny...so the DamageStopPercent at 0.0 means it won't stop smoking till it dies?

lol. to the contrary...it works! thanks very much, authraw.

it looks a little weird though, fire coming out of his stomach...do you know any other bone names or where to find bone names?

bone_ribcage is one, I think... Ask a modeller--they'll know more than me.
