I want to make an object that can "catch fire". This poses several problems, though:
- There doesn't seem to be any way to check if a nearby object uses a texture that has a name that resembles something (i.e., I'd be checking to see if, say, a campfire object uses a texture with *fire* in the name, or *flame*, or ... etc.).
- I don't know if it's possible to have the object's flame always pointing towards the sky (as I intend to have this object holdable by someone, as though a match, with the flame rotating to always point upwards).
Any ideas?

Any ideas? can't check on the textures name, but you can certainly use a sensor to find out the names of close objects. I'd assume most would have some variant of flame or fire in their title. |
