[b]Are you tired of seeing fire only spread via props? Do you want the fire to behave like Far Cry 2? Then this is the addon you're looking for![/b]
This addon expands the possibilities of the fire entity in Garry's Mod. Advanced Fire makes all fires - or only the 'advanced' fires - be able to spread without having to spam props! It automatically burns its way through all your structures! Fire can be blocked either by a brush or a non inflammable prop like a container door.
[b]How to use it?[/b]
[u]Left-click[/u] to start an expanding fire
[u]Right-click[/u] to remove all fires in the map
[u]Use the context panel[/u] to set behaviour

Good work, looks good.
Nice but maybe have the spreadrate a bit more random?
At the moment it was too perfect and it was obvious when the spread function was being called.
Great! Would be even better if you made it so it doesn't spawn the fires in a square pattern :)
It looks very blocky in the video.
Good work you got my download. Will we be expecting any updates?
Good work!
Looks awesome, shame about the squareness of spreading though.
How come everyone else is now releasing spreadable fire addons?
Nevertheless it looks awesome. Just what is needed for RP_Downtown_V2!
Everyone?
This has come in handy on my server. The squareness is annoying, but I can deal with it since I no longer need to lay out fire (via the Effect addon) ahead of time for RP.
If there were a function to remove smoke, and for the fires to auto extinguish after a period of time(think of conway's game of life) it would be kinda cooler. Got my download anyway!
Great idea/job!
Nice, reminds me of the sims, when something was burning :P.
Brilliant, Overv, brilliant.
I think I'm going to go remake my Wildfire now...
(It was the second spreading fire to be made for gm9, after Jinto's)
I really enjoyed using it, and kinda miss it now.
Please rate the thread if you like it :)
I rated the thread positive because it's always good to see people playing with Lua, and you reminded me of an old script I made.
Overv, since this is your thread, and I hate when people shit up mine, do you mind if I post just one or two pictures of my WIP Wildfire? I'm asking you, since you gave me the idea to remake it. :)
No problem at all, we're all here to help other people out :)
:D. Thanks, mang.
Here's some WIP pictures of the Wildfire I took last night:

First time I've ever made a STOOL. Used the Advanced Duplicator as a base. :D
When using advanced fire, if you catch a barrel or an exploding object on fire, when the object explodes the fire stays there. I'm not sure if its a glitch or not it just seams unrealistic.
Whenever an explosion happens or an object is destroyed via fire, the fire stays there, I agree with the poster above, its mildly annoying.
and maybe create an effect that doesen't kill fps too much
Looks really nice. As others have said, the squareness can be a little offsetting. Maybe if it spread in 6 directions in a hexagonal fashion it wouldn't come off as squarish?
[QUOTE=SweFox*;13343824]Nice, reminds me of the sims, when something was burning :P.[/QUOTE]
So it does, I forgot what fire looked like on there :).
ya the squarish thing and the smoke thing again
you should also make an extigusher swep that puts it out so you can play fireman. you could have a new job for rp :D
Yeah, everytime it expands, the more it expands the more lag I get.
The 1st expansion = no lag
The 2nd expansion = no lag
The 3rd expansion = 1 second lag
The 4th expansion = 3 second lag
The 5th expansion = 5 second lag
Then it just doubles, and it becomes impossible to play with it.
It doesn't spread to props :(
Welcome to the new age of no eddicts errors!
Wow! This looks really cool! You've got my download!
Doesn't anyone else lag like hell when it expands?
