Lava polygons=burning, and flame death

[Pyroguy]

Well, its really only a visual thing. But I want lava polygons, instead of hurting you, to cause you to catch on fire (hit you with the flamer) and if you die from it you burn to death. Or perhaps only having you burn when you die, and hurting you like a hurt polygon. BUT I WANT THE SOLDAT TO BUUUUUUUURN! Heheh.

I haven't really played around with Polyworks, but would it at all be possible to have those "hurt" polygons give the flamethrower effect on contact?

Hmmm...that's wierd, I could have sworn they already made you burst into flames when you died, but I just tested it out and they don't.

Not in 1.2.1 either.  Why do I remember them doing that, then?

[Sotija]

I like the catch flame idea.

[Will]

I remember that too but maybe its from another game , I dunno. Its kinda dumb that lava polygons hurt you like hurt polygons but just with different sounds??!!!?!?!

[Toumaz]

If player were to catch fire like flamethrower and if the fire spread to other players it would be kinda lame because they would get a kill point for it... Just let them die in flames.

Will: Lava polygons have significantly higher damage on tough than Hurt polygons.

[VijchtiDoodah]

Whoa, Toumaz, where've you been hiding?

[Kaine]

the fire shouldnt spread to other players, but you should catch fire and die burning.  Something that should happen when u die burning, or from hoppin into lava is your body turnin black from the heat.  u guys think tht should be worked in too?
