Maybe some observations of mine from back can help, maybe people know this already, but here goes.general bugs wrote:Custom made Torches/lanterns don't seem to work in ALFA.
Torches bought from stores don't (usually) work either. Ones I bought from BG starting merchant at least do not. The funny thing is, the torch is only bought non-working if the merchant has inventory of "inifite". If you drop, say, 20 torches to the shop individually, they all fire up when wielded. Problem is, shop might run out, especially if it re-stocks only on server reset.
This seems to apply to any item with the torchlight vfx on it.
I have no idea under what circumstance, if any, a torch is spent and no longer fires.
Also I am not sure what happens with avatar-muled-in torches. But if memory serves they do work.
One workaround is to use the visual:fire and light properties on the item, instead of the torch vfx. This does kill the rather neat flutter effect that is present in torchlight, but not on the light property. Also if applied on a torch item, it might make the whole torch be on fire, including the hand, or those properties might not be available on a torch base item. Can't recall. But this is reliable "fire", and can at least be used on weapons and weapon-like items to have them ablaze.
