Experimental - Fire

What is it?
This mod allows you to put fire wherever you want, like pyrotechnics for set decoration. It consists of a fire & smoke emitter that can be set to 4 levels:
- Off -- No activity. Neither fire nor smoke.
- Smolder -- Emits small amounts of smoke.
- Fire -- Emits flames and selectable light or heavy smoke.
- Explosion -- Fire temporarily flares up, like an explosion, then settles back down into Fire mode.
It even has a light that turns on and off with the fire to provide glow! Note that your Lighting Quality graphics setting must be set to "Low" or higher in order to see the light source and its effects. It's not visible if Lighting Quality is set to "Lowest".

I even added a tent to put next to the campfire. This is one of the tents from the Utah campground with a jbeam on it.

Awesome! How do I use it?
1. Download this mod.
2. Spawn an instance of Fire just like any other vehicle or prop.
3. The emitter is invisible. Press Ctrl-B to make it visible, and Shift-Ctrl-B to make it invisible again. Seeing the emitter helps with placement.
4. Map controls to the Fire functions (Off, Smolder, Fire & Explosion)
5. Adjust the smoke, fire and light settings in the Tuning menu to better suit Fire to your needs.
6. Activate Fire & enjoy!
It can be used to "set buildings on fire" by attaching it to the building via the node grabber. It can also be attached to vehicles to set them on fire without actually causing fire damage (this mod is not a true fire simulation). You can also use it for a bonfire at your next beach party! Whenever and wherever you need flames, Fire can be there for you!

Version 0.2 includes additional support for remote control via script. An example script is included that spawns a ring of fire on the Jungle Rock Island airstrip. The script ignites the ring on one side, the fire burns around the ring in both directions, meeting on the other side. This is demonstrated later in the following video:

To spawn the ring of fire, call the following function:
Code:
```
scripts_HighBeam9000__Fire_extension.spawnFireRing()
```
To ignite the ring of fire, call the following function:
Code:
```
scripts_HighBeam9000__Fire_extension.igniteFireRing()
```
To extinguish the ring of fire, call the following function:
Code:
```
scripts_HighBeam9000__Fire_extension.extinguishFireRing()
```
To delete the ring of fire, call the following function:
Code:
```
scripts_HighBeam9000__Fire_extension.deleteFireRing()
```
Version 0.2 also regulates its particle generation rate appropriately for slow-motion. The previous version would generate particles at a real-time rate even in slow-motion.

Version 0.3 adds sound to explosions and flicker to fire.

Version 0.4 fixes an issue where the explosions would have no flames.

Great mod. Just a question, is there a way to make the smoke particles last for longer? That way i can set up huge fires with the smoke that rises far up to the sky. If so let me know :)

  Thank you for the positive review!
  
  Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to extend particle lifetime. Particle lifetime seems to be fixed, and based on the particle type. I'm unaware of any way to increase or decrease it.

  You probably just need to map the controls. Here's how:
  (1) Press ESC to bring up the menu.
  (2) Select "Options"-->"Controls"-->"Vehicle Specific"
  (3) Map a control to "Burn Off". This control will turn the fire off.
  (4) Map a control to "Burn Smolder". This control will start some smoke.
  (5) Map a control to "Burn Fire". This control will start flames.
  (6) Map a control to "Explosion". This control will set off an explosion.
  (7) Play around with the controls in the "Vehicle Config"-->"Tuning" menu to tailor Fire to your liking.
  (8) Enjoy!
