Help creating Flamethrower

Hey, I need some help creating a flame thrower. I have seen it work in a BF1 mod (works pretty much the same as BF2, except sometimes the enemies act like they were blown up when they die)

These are my ODFs.

The flamethrower will throw the fire but it will not set the enemies on fire. I have seen this done in a BF1 mod (Mustafar: Refinery BF1 Port Shock Trooper mod), but don't know how to replicate it.

play a bit around with explosion lines in the ordnance odf

I think i figured it out... the "Flamethrower" is a grenade launcher modified to stick to units and have a flame trail instead of a detonator's trail...

I'm afraid i don't know everything i would need to for a full answer, but i know the "burn" effect that makes the unit flame up when caught on fire is built into SWBF as i recall, because you could (in practice) make a unit walk around on fire always, just as you could make it smoke or more other area effects (glow) and so on.

but as for how i'm not sure fully, if you asked Napseeker, he may be able to help you as he is the one who made the Mus1 side mod with the flamethrower and units burning.

Yep, Napseeker confirmed it was indeed a modified Grenade Launcher. I got it to work fine (it actually sets units on fire but waits to do damage, there is also the "grenade" I had to use otherwise it would not work properly)
