I notice smoke does not place at the same heigh than the entity.
I had used StartParticleEmitter(e) and it work fine , but it is place at the bottom of the entity.
The question is, can I regulate smoke height, so it place accordingly with the entity height?
And can I regulate the smoke density?
Please see the video below.



Thanks in advance 4 all tips

it's very simple in it's current form and looks better when moving, maybe create an object the moves up and down above the torch which does the smoke?

I've another related question:
can I've two animations simultaneously?
When I place two torches, the first runs the animation, but the second does not.
I created a small flame, I've located very close to the first, I have attached the correct code, but not animate, while the firts does.

The second flame is an instance of the first, which means that only differ in size.
I thought this situation was already outdated, but I have noticed that it is not.
Any thoughts on this?

well it is done.
I do not animate small flame, just emitting smoke, and place it very close to the main flame, and it work.
Anyway I plane work with timer to reduce the amoung of smoke, I think it is pretty big.



PD: do you notice gizmo in action into the test mode, in the video below?, odd.

I sometimes get the gizmo in testmode, too. If I relaunch, it goes away. Odd, indeed! Just hope it doesn't end up in an executable!
