Many of you know the flare bug, ie once you have too many flame emitters in a room/level, Lara lights up a flare but it will not light until thrown to the floor...Credit for a potential solution goes to Hokolo at the German Eidos forum. He checked the object numbers of his numerous flame emitters and when he ran into a total outlier (in terms of number range) he deleted this one and then it worked ok and he could add in more without encountering the bug. Have not had the need yet to try myself, but if you want, give it a go in your levels...

He deleted the respective flame emitter with the strange object number and recreated a new one.

Or, if you dont want to be limited to the amount of emmiters you use.... set anti-triggers to turn them off once Lara leaves the area....... ------------------

Hold the horses! Sorry, folks - seems it was a false alarm and this is NOT the solution. Hokolo did further testing and indeed the limit is 31 flame emitters triggered at any given time. Once there are 32, the flare in Lara's hand turns off :-(So, I guess, the only way around it is the Anti-triggering as mentioned by Inchdix above... Again, sorry for the confusion!

By the way,
How do you use the anti trigger thing? In the manual they say it's of no use...JB IP: Logged |

you are probebly mistaken it for combat trigger or something, the anti-trigger is used for deleting an object from gameplay
select the object, select a quare where you want the object to disappear, hit the trigger button and set the trigger as "antitrigger", that should do the job------------------

BTW, I suppose the anti-trigger DOES NOT delete the object from the game but only untriggers it (as its name says), meaning that you can trigger it again later...
Am I right?
