Say if you had a pot above a fire in real life, the flames lick the sides of the pot and don't go through the metal. Would it be possible to have a boolean value to enable something like this for Fire?

It would probably create lag. I think fire is good enough as it is.

*Which is why you have a boolean to enable it.

It could, but not if roblox introduced a better rendering distance.

Can be scripted. Idea dismissed.

I don't see how you could script the actual fire particles, but whatever grandmaster lua, go for it.

How bout this: Fire will go through things that are cancollide, and vice versa.

That's what they do already... I'm just saying that there should be a bool to enable particles to collide with objects.

just click a brick, go insert > Object > Fire. Then script it to spread to the next touched brick. :P

Then that brick catches on fire...the fire doesn't go around it. Do a favor, before you post, start a fire outside in a safe place, throw some logs on it, then take a big metal pot and put it over the fire. Does the pot start on fire, does fire go through the pot? No.
