Traditionally you can't set people on fire using environmental hazards, only deal direct fire damage.

If meerkats suggestion works properly it should be something like OnStartTouch > ignite > !activator

Your name. YM_Industries. You are not YM. YM worked on Coldfront, Hoodoo and Mann Manor. Whether it was your intention or not, you could be seen as trying to leech off of his success.

Ah, sorry. It is pure coincidence. I have noticed the YM in those levels, but I chose my username before I even played TF2. That is the problem with acronyms. I have also been confused with YouMe. (on ThinkingWithPortals)

I'll put a note on my profile.

Awesome it works! I forgot about !activator and was wondering how to trigger it on the player.

If I recall correctly, there is an "ignite" output for trigger_multiples now.

Thanks heaps. (It's actually an input on whatever entity the player is represented by.)

Icarus YM and YouMe are all the same person.

That doesn't seem to be the case seeing as Icarus and YM have different names. Unless I missed something.

Also YM and YouMe was kind of obvious.

I'm pretty sure it was a joke at the faux-YM's expense.

Reminds me of when a guy from HP Products (a local company that makes equipment for factories) talked about people calling them up thinking they were Hewlett-Packard. And when the call center people would correct them, they'd be like "...Can you fix my printer anyway?"

Back on topic, I'd been wondering about this so I could add it to the "TF2/Creating fire" article on the developer wiki. When I get my next map to the point of being functional, I'll throw this in to test it.

1) when you !ignite a player, water doesn't put them out (I'm pretty sure nothing does until they die)

2) YM is in Coldfront because he made the moose head from Swamp
