NEON APIManaged fire

Available in Neon, not standard MTA

Syntax

theFirefire

Managed fire element.

strengthfloat

Multiplier, minimum 0.1. Around 1, 2 and 3 select GTA's small, medium and large fire effects.

Ownership and lifecycle

A managed fire is an element owned by the resource that created it, so stopping that resource extinguishes its fires. Server-created fires are synchronized to every client, and lifetime is tracked as relative remaining time so a client joining mid-burn receives what is left.
