ahhh... so that's how that's happening.

i could never quite get how it was happening, since people were having it happen in sarge as well.

must be any jetpack vehicle switched to a non jp vehicle though, like how you can retain headlights in a non-headlights vehicle.

i'm wondering if i should merge the jetpack one i'd published though, because the player who actually was causing the flametrail couldn't actually see it....is that the case here?

yeah, be better ifyou could see yourself on fire... in 04 it was the other way round, others couldn't see u on fire but u could :?

this could be a good optional thing for fighting or team games, but could potencially cause havock in the economy because of less fuel use and such

i specifically requested the disabling of .setfire for fighting and other islands because players could use it as headlights to light their way, thereby reducing the benefit of buying a vehicle for the purpose of headlights.
