How to set character on fire?

[Ramibuk]

I tried that like this ,but its wrong:

local square= getPlayer():getSquare();square:StartFire();

No answer...i heard talk that fire is disabled for now and  i didnt see any in game so i take it as its true then.

Fire is working fine; There's probably a little bit more to it than that, though. That could even just set a boolean to true somewhere rather than actually start a fire.

Note, this is not done through Lua:

I saw this here http://projectzomboid.com/blog/2012/01/expanded-modding-support-details/

 in expoding apple example

 

if sq ~= nil then

sq:StartFire();

 

Full function:

function DoExplodingApple(character, item)   if item:GetType() == "Apple" then      local radius = 30;      local numFires = 300;      local cell = GetWorld():GetCell();      local objects = cell:GetObjects();	for k,v in ipairs(objects) do	   if character:DistTo(v) < radius and v:IsCharacter() then		v:Kill(character);	   end	end	GetSoundManager():PlayWorldSound("explode", character:GetSquare(), 0, 20, 1.0, false);	for i = 0, numFires do	   local sq = cell:GetGridSquare(ZombRand(character:GetX()-radius, character:GetX()+radius),	  		                 ZombRand(character:GetY()-radius, character:GetY()+radius),					 character:GetZ() );	    if sq ~= nil then		sq:StartFire();	    end	end    endendEvents.OnUseItem.Add(DoExplodingApple); 

 

but that's from january 2012 so i was interesting how fire work now

There's a public static class called IsoFireManager... you could try

 

IsoFireManager:StartFire(IsoCell cell, IsoGridSquare gridSquare, boolean IgniteOnAny, int FireStartingEnergy) 

 

Can't remember the exact methods but I guess it would be something like:

IsoFireManager:StartFire(getPlayer():getGridSquare():getCell(), getPlayer():getGridSquare(), true, 10)

Thanks Stormy this is right path as it didnt throw me errors and actually did something,but its not fire yet.I guess i need set few more things before i will see a fire.

Thanks to Stormy:

 

gridSquare:AddTileObject(IsoFire.new(gridSquare:getCell(), gridSquare, true, 2))

 

Not sure what that end number is for and the fire seems to spawn long after I call the function but that definitely does add a fire to a square.
