Post flame code help
hey guys, its me, I was wondering if you could help.

Im making a pryo pack, and need to find out how to make a special type of flamer, that shoots napalm.
For those of you who play fallout 3, it would be like a heavy incinerator..... but the only flamers i have shoot steady sprays, and the fireballs are not big enough.

any suggestions?

So you want a fireball launcher, or a napalm gun? Fireballs are easy enough, just make an AEmitter with a contact explosion. Napalm gun, copy the heavy flamer and decrease or zero the AirResistance.

Ok, so you want a fireball gun (one single explosion that throws fire everywhere)?
Then making an AEmitter would likely be your best best. Copy the emitter for, say, the main engine of the rocket but make all emissions to not affect the emitter, then give it a GibImpulseLimit of very low (0.0001-ish) and give it gibs akin to the napalm grenade.

I just want to say one thing...
I'm currently making a napalm gun too so I've found that if you lua it right you can make a flame ball that has lots of little flames (MOSParticle) that can stick to the actors it hits (make them on fire) and burn them by decreasing the health... adds an interesting effect if you do it right this is more realistic than having an actor suddenly just EXPLODE from a flamethrower because a flamethrower does not throw explosive rounds it throws fuel :)

I hope it helps! Good luck
