Title: [DONE][SUGGESTION] Burning downed unit lighting.
Post by: Nord on July 23, 2022, 05:00:59 am
Idea is to make downed unit, who continues to burn, to produce light as normal fire until it dies.

This is something for Yankes to consider.

I don't know how difficult it is to do; or if it affects performance.

My (personal) opinion: A rather cosmetic feature. Low prio.

Probably doable, it performance impact could be similar to electric-flares.

Btw unit in hand should give light too? :>

[ps]

Unit light is not cosmetic feature as it affect visibility. But probably it have low affect to gameplay as you need have source of fire to lit unit and use it as torch.

I think that you can have better torchlights than burning foe in your hands. Damn, that's brutal. :)

In Piratez i have such thing periodically, when using lasers or incendiary bullets during night.

I added light from burning units on ground, for now it give light with power of 10 (normal burning unit give 15).
