VFire Glide Support please

can you make a LVS version?

:(????

nah thats the comment i left in the code for that specific condition on startup

Nah, no complaints here, I just had it disabled so my 500-mod Gmod doesn't incinerate itself during HL2 maps. I just found that silly little message on accident, forgot to disable your addon after vFire.

--complain vfire is not installed

or*

[vFireSimf] You don't get cookies >:(
now that's a silly little message for those who disabled on don't have vFire lol

funny message when I don't have vFire.

hey i have found a problem that whenever i spawn a boat it explodes automatically and no its not any other addon only yours is causing something so could you please fix it?

Luna the one who made simfphys has replaced simfphys and LFS into one mod called LVS
if you have any issues that is why
meaning op please make this updated or make a new one for lvs

lvs is the new vehicle base meant to replace simphys and lfs

what is lvs

also pretty sure this mod blew up

Now do one for lvs

i can't spawn vehicles with this

@engineer gaming. Same i am experiencing that too

umm so i did not test it yet but looks fun

How to make your car with 4wd ?

for some reason it isint working, the vfire is replaced with the default simfphys fire instead of vfire

doesnt work for me at all

out curiosity, theres anyway to damage the passagers with the fire?

Also, the reason I asked for wac was because LFS already had Vfire

Ah! I understand. Thank you anyway!

If i wasn’t busy with school and work i’d maybe attempt it, but i just don’t have much time anymore.

LFS > WAC
It isn’t too hard to make a hook that adds vfire to wac.

Sorry for being a nuisance like every other commenter who wants you to make another addon.
But could I make a request for vfire compatibility for WAC Aircraft?
Specifically for crashes/explosions. Or just simply when the chopper is in the on fire/damage state?

Thank you for taking you time to read this comment, if.. say you even did.

well, can you make this script for Scars?

it would only take a minute to update this script to utilize the simfphys hooks instead of replacing the functions, but i dont have time to nor the tools installed
sads

seems like it don t want to work properly but good concept need to be updated for me both this addon and vfire

yo it does work its just a little delayed

i have no idea what that is, but if it uses vfire hooks then yes

does this mod work for optimized vfire mod?

welll when the cars explode the fire isnt vfire but a little flame starts underneath the car and now it just doesnt set on fire before exploding and only smokes

it dont work for l4d cars and the hl2 pre war cars

A. AA. AAA. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.jpg

True true, vcmod does suck ass. I actually paid for it and think it sucks ass.

Ok fair enough

vcmod stinky

make it compatible for vcmod :)

been in my subscriptions for quite a bit too

just now noticed my addon is in the collection

thanks

OH i didn't even think about feed gdi

yeah if you can reduce that to 50% or 25% on spread it would probably help a lot

With vehicles I am pretty sure they spread so quick due to the wheel entities and with simfphys the seat entities. The seat entities should for sure be ignored but the wheels shouldnt catch as easily. There is also a feed value when starting a fire so I can try tinkering with that and seeing if it makes the fire spread slower.

i've got nothing outside of editing the vfire script directly, but for that i got a couple ideas for that

giving the fire's parent a variable that prevents it from spreading to itself for a given time

another is adding a temperature variable where a fire will increment it every burn think, and won't spread if its below a certain amount

now i haven't tested but the first method sounds good for preventing the fire from growing out of control and the second would be good for preventing catching fire from walking/driving over small ground fires, i would also consider an IsVehicle check for the first as simfphys and vanilla vehicles have the self-spreading problem more than anything i can think of

no promises but i'll let you know if i actually work on this

@Sir. Vapenation
It is a conflict, please run vfire_simfphys_compatibilitymode 1 in console to fix Gredwitches tanks when exploding. His addon alters the explosion function after mine so my code is overwritten. I will be updating the addon soon for automatic detection of Gredwitches addon to enable compatibility mode, as well as a few more convars for more control of the addon and its behavior.

@Sir. Vapenation
Gredwitch overrides the OnDestroyed function of his vehicles or something of the sorts, as my vFire explosion code is not run at all on his vehicles. Not sure what I can do about that but will take a closer look into what can be done.

The fire spreads easier based on where the vehicle has their engine position set, so for vehicles where it is set toward the top of the model it'll catch and spread very quickly, but for models that have the engine position toward the center of the model it will be a very small fire and take quite a bit to catch.

I'm sure there is something I can do to somewhat fix it, but I've got nothing in mind atm.

yeah, i also seem to remember them not exploding properly?

also speaking of fire intensity vehicle vfires spread wildly to the point where a car catches on fire once, it's basically forked even if it had full health

i know it's not this addon and i asked the original creator about it but they're inactive nowadays, was working on a vfire edit to change stuff -like making the damage distance based, instead of random- but even that's not finished i'm so lazy

Constant Engine Stalling & Backfire [4/14/2020]
Caused due to the fire effects being updated yesterday in Simfphys
Fixed by undoing my previous fix that spammed the SetOnFire() function false

I assume thats what broke for me, I don't remember exactly what changed but it somehow caused the vehicle to not start and putt smoke.
Since then I've included a compatibility convar just in case, which looking back at my code only delays the fire starting by 0.5 seconds..? vfire_simfphys_compatibilitymode 0-1
