Is there a setting to change the chance or likelihood of fire spreading? I'd like to tone it down some, I made a little mission in the editor where I shoot up an armored column but then the fire starts and does does most of the work for me

tho it could be other mods i use along with this one

when i tried, a car exploded and set trees on fire

Dumb question: Is there any way to get these to start dynamically in-mission? Say, someone throws a molotov, or too many tracers zip through the wrong bush, and a whole forest goes up?

I'm 100% comfy with running Zeus and adding the module manually on mission start. I'm just looking for a way for any random player or AI to start one, with any random flammable objects...by accident :)

this is boss on sog maps

Sever and client need the mod

Nice mod! Is it server-side? I mean, can I use it as zeus whether or not other players have it? BTW it'd be great finding a way to make some explosions start a fire.

LA atm

Its nice but it would be nicer if there would be an Possibility to Extinguish the fires per hand, with an Fire Hose or something.

The answer is no. This is a mission maker tool.

Has anyone checked if this is compatible with antistasi? As in, if it starts a fire if you use the napalm strike

It's sad that when I drop water on fire from helicopter, it doesn't extinguish it

Does it work with the SOG Prairie napalms and WP? ( for example : dropped napalm starting a wildfire, etc. )

Either it just broke for me because extinguish fire doesn't work both of em.

yes it has zeus modules

Does this work in zeus?

cool sounds good thanks man^_^

Will take a look and update it if there's anything worth changing

would love to know if this will work with the new RF DLC

will this be getting updated to work with the brand new dlc?

How do you set this up so that Vehicles like the Tigris will catch the woods and buildings on fire

@Seb It is necessary that the ignition module is always at the position of the destroyed vehicle. I image its settings - radius, ignition time, burning time, etc. - Fabulous!

@Seb Good good day!

You don't have the ability to add a module, that can be attached to a vehicle so, that if that vehicle is destroyed, it will start a fire in the nearest trees. It would be awesome ability of your mod!

Strait Forward Answers Only

by hanging

How do you execute it?

I second the idea on Firefighting as Big.Toe has mentioned, may be difficult for someone to create with Arma 3's coding. But I can imagine it would be an awesome combo with this mod.

Cool mod. Dang... someone should make a wildland fire fighting mod now. Just think, Yellow and green nomex uniforms, pulaskis and bladder bags, engines, smoke jumping, rappelling, a fire shelter that protects from blowovers. Chainsaws??? Why cant we cut trees down in Arma 3??? Sorry I just had ideas and wanted to share. I dont have the mod skills for all of that yet
.

Please allow to have lower damage distance and spread distance. Also smoke grenades are too likely to cause fire, can we have option to somehow adjust that, or maybe an option to have 'chance to make fire'?

Can you make it run on all missions by default?
And maybe a version without SBA (SBA changes AI behavior) with settings in userconfig?
Please do it!!! Do it and be great!!!!

here's a ace_firedPlayer EH that sets off a fire when SOG or ACE incendiary grenades are thrown https://pastebin.com/raw/LZHQ5MKr

@Spanners

The game won't load make any modded modules available unless the mod is in the missions required addons list.

You can fix this by placing any Wildfire module in the mission editor, this should cause them to appear in Zeus. Best thing would be an extinguish module in the corner of the map.

How do I disable the text warnings on-screen if I get close? Please add an option for it in the Addon Options menu. Great mod!

Can you please allow for lower values of setting wildfire_main_damageDistance?

wow this will be boss for bush fires

Just wanted to let you know - ACE seems to have added actual "thermal burn" injuries to their mod, would be cool if you could update the ACE injuries caused by this mod so that fire causes burn wounds instead. Thanks!

@Mickey, this is the exact reason I uninstalled the mod. But still, the fire effect is already embedded into my campaign mode missions and I can't stop it. For human players, you can easily evade the fire but for a single player in campaign mode, all AI teammates will walk straight into the fire and die.

wow , impressive work

@Seb It's hard for me to understand what you mean. In any case, a attach module inside your mod would be a more convenient and simpler solution

Just use the script examples with a waituntil dead

Hi @Seb! You have no way to make the WildFire module can be attached to the vehicle? For example, it would be great to attach a fire module to a helicopter, so that after the helicopter crashes into the forest/jungle this forest will burn up. Please consider this feature in your mod, it would be fantastic great!

Ok this is cool

Will this work normally through the campaign without having to activate scripts, in other words will it catch and spread fire from grenades and stuff like that normally or doe i have to start the fires manually?

@Seb And please also add a checkbox so that the player can turn off the inscriptions when the fire approaches - like "I`AM BURNING" or other alerts

@Seb I want to ask you more about AI. Don't you have a way for the AI to somehow avoid burning areas? Yesterday I checked again - the AI will go straight to the fire and die in it.

@Seb Hundreds of meters? Sorry, but I doubt it! I understand that the fire will not burn only on contact, but still it seems to me that the distance to damage a person is too great. The settings could satisfy everyone.

Yeah I know, I actually researched sources for the distance I chose. People want it to be easier I guess. A proper massive fire can burn you from hundreds of meters away.

how big is the fire in your guys games? a few whole trees burning upright is way too hot to be within 30 meters for long, let alone a forest

k ill add an option for it

I see a lot of people complaining about too much distance hurting the player. Please try to fix this or give the player a settings for this and scale of fire FX.
