How to make a fire detecting pinball?

[Kot2220]

I have a pinball machine as a reward for my firefighter career, and I want to make it able to detecting fires. Please help me, I'm a beginner modder and I want to make something new.

PS Sorry for my english, I dont speak it very good.

Hi Kot,

Making objects which detect fires is actually a difficult thing for beginning modders. You either need to make a global hack to the fire object, or set up your object to continuously scan the room for fire objects.

Both of these options involve editing BHAV files. Have a read through these tutorials to get started:

Thanks Echo, but I still don't understand some things.
:alarm: :help: Which BHAV is detecting fire? Maybe I can copy some things from Fire Alarm? And what things? :alarm:

There's no BHAV to detect fire, that is why this isn't a very easy mod. The fire alarm doesn't actually detect that there is a fire, the fire itself searches for alarm objects and tells them to start.

So what I must modified?

You either:
- make a global hack to the fire object's BHAVs, or
- write a new BHAV for your pinball machine which continuously scans the room for fire objects.

Both of these things require fairly good understanding of BHAVs, so you should try those two tutorials I posted for you before.
