would be great if supported URP

 

Looks great, I'm interested in the HDRP version.

 

Hey I just managed to package the asset and uploaded new trailer for it:

Let me know what you think. Supports URP and HDRP, Unity 2019.3+.

The package is submitted to the asset store and is awaiting for Unity's approval so stay tuned!


Thank you all for your comments!

 

Hey all!

Asset is now released! https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/catching-fire-system-urp-hdrp-181079

Thank you for your support!

 

Looks great, is it possible to make it compatible with vegetation engine?

I would love to set a virtual forest on fire with this

Thanks!

I suppose that it is possible to integrate the behavior and vfx to almost anything. Vegetation engine seems to use their own custom shaders so the "Crackling wood" effect would not be possible using my system's shaders out-of-the-box. But on the bright side they seem to have already burning effect, so that could be used.

I will definitely look into it! Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Hello everyone,

I just updated my asset to version 1.1: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/slug/181079

Update includes:
- The Vegetation Engine support
- Partial Standard pipeline support
- Optimization

Let me know what you think!

 

Great update, thanks for the vegetation engine support!

 

What part of standard rp is supported?

 

I have one request, could I have an barrel explode after being in contact with the fire?

if it has a collider could I trigger it from the fire ( collider "trigger only" )
basically I'm asking how to turn on a trigger event from the fire

Second request I would like to be able to use water particles to put the fire out in places where the water touches the fire

Third request: Can you make the fire react to unity wind direction and power?

 

@

Hey,

Only limitation with standard RP is the shader on the surface of solid 3D-Objects (planks etc.). So the Visual effect will render nevertheless and system will work. Also with TVE Standard RP is fully supported and should work without limitations.

To first request: I will add a option to trigger script (so for example explosion) after some time of burning. You can already do this by adding an invisible flammable object that is deleted after a while and triggering the event in OnDestroy event call as a work around.

Second request: I will also add some kind of trigger event support for this, so you could add water particles to the Extinguish objects and specify radius of Extinguish etc.

Third request: I have done some research on this and this will be added some time in the next updates.

 

Thanks for taking my request!

 

Hello everyone,

I planned the next update and version 1.2 will include:
- Wind will affect the flame (TVE Motion and Unity Wind zone)
- Particles can extinguish fire (So you can add your water/smoke/anything to put out fires)
- Trigger events with delay from ignition (e.g. explode a barrel after it has burned for 5 seconds)
- Ignition time (In real life usually it takes a while for some materials to catch fire, so user can customize this time)

The version 1.2 update will be released next week so stay tuned!

Stay safe and keep creating,

A small sneak peek of the version 1.2 update called Wind and Firefighting:

In the video you can see the fire extinguished by raycast, but it will be also possible to do this by using Unity Particles!

What do you think?

 

This is great! , thanks for the updates!

The particles can also activate a fire? ( like for example a flame trower that spits out fire particles)

 

Good suggestion!
I will add that as well as built-in functionality. Should be easy to add since I basically have everything ready.

 

This looks fantastic -- but any chance of support for Vegetation Studio Pro?

 

Hello gecko! Thanks! Yes, that is on the roadmap and will be included in the version 1.3 or 1.4 (version 1.2 is to be released next week).

 

Fantastic!

Oh, but hmmm, we would also want it to work with Unity terrain trees (since we use them for low-end computers). Is that feasible?

 

Hello again,

Thanks for your suggestion! I will evaluate if it is feasible to support Unity terrain trees as well, I will keep you updated.

 

Updated to V 1.2 with new features!
- Extinguish/Ignite fire with particles or raycast
- Wind interaction

New Version released!

**Version 1.8**
New:
- Vegetation Studio Pro Support with masking and shader animation.
- Unity Terrain Support with shader animation.
Fixes:
- Fixed NullReference exception if shader compatibility is missing
- Verified functionality in Unity 2020.2. Small fix to VFX for built-in/standard RP.


**Version 1.8.1**
New:
- Create your own VFX from a VFX template!
- Control the wind affection to the VFX.
Fixes:
- Flame will now extinguish properly on complex objects.

 

**Version 1.8.2 Released!**
New:
- Exposed Extinguish parameters. You can now control how easily the object is extinguished.
- Reworked new alternative for interaction between objects and the fire. Now you can catch events with information about the exact flame from an object touching fire using simple interface IInteractWithFire.
Fixes:
- Updated docs with example use cases, more accurate steps for the usage and links to the examples on the demo scene.
- Extinguish effect will no longer "Eat" the flames, but blocks the spawning. This leads to more believable effect.

 

**Version 1.8.3 released!**
Version 1.8.3
- You can now control LOD culling and maximum effect from the flame engine
- Scene camera now affects the LOD while in edit-mode. So the flames will not be culled anymore in edit-mode even when main camera is farther away.

New:
