# Fire

## Overview

This is some fire whose sprite hurts enemies.

You can create this type of map entity only dynamically with `map:create_fire()`. It cannot be declared in the map data file.

Historical Feature

Fire entities exist for historical reasons and are not very customizable. In new projects, we recommend to use custom entities instead.

Fire is typically created with an equipment item like a lamp.

Fire hurts enemies that are sensible to it. It does not hurt the hero.

Fire can also be detected by non-playing characters: this is useful to implement a torch as a generalized NPC that interacts with fire.
