All I did was put the whole subfunction as a comment and the mod works fine. Idk, I get how certain things might not look right, but I haven't run into any problems with it (other than lag because I set 50 zombies on fire).

I haven't really played GMod in a while so I'll work on that sometime

Good news! I found the culprit.

-- 🧹 Remove nearby clutter (lights, buttons, thrusters, lamps)
for _, target in ipairs(ents.FindInSphere(ent:GetPos(), 150)) do
if not IsValid(target) or target == ent then continue end
local class = target:GetClass()
if class:find("gmod_") or class == "light" or class == "env_projectedtexture" then
timer.Simple(0.5, function()
if IsValid(target) then target:Remove() end
end)
end
end

This sometimes targets c_hands for w/e reason.

I'm going to experiment with your code for a bit to try to figure out what's causing the bug; from what you've got I'd far prefer this mod over the... Only 2 alternatives. I was tempted to make my own fire mod, but frankly, I think it'd be best to just figure out what is causing the bug for this one instead.

No promises on when I'll figure it out though, kind of busy lately.

hmmmm...

bit of a correction: the bug sometimes occurs when fire spreads. It doesn't always happen, but it definitely is causing c_hands to disappear.

Idk how to fix that

[BUG] Sometimes when prop breaks due to being burnt down with this mod installed they will cause c_hands to disappear.

I guess lol

so basically vFire but not a resource hog

YEH

FINALLY I CAN COMMIT FIERY CRIMES AGAINST THE GMOD-MERICA

ok

no i've made 11 other ones

...

is this your first mod?

oh cool
