Burn

Smudge type that belongs to the pool a scorch mark is chosen from.

Specification

Applies to: SmudgeType
File: rules.ini
Section: [<ObjectType ID>]
Value: boolean
When omitted: no

Burn=yes makes the smudge type a candidate whenever the ground is scorched. No other setting adds a type to the scorch pool. Listing it in Scorches has no effect.

Each scorch is picked at random from the Burn=yes types that fit the spot. Height describes the fit test and which sizes each kind of request prefers.

[MYSCORCH]     ; example single-cell scorch mark
Burn=yes

Two things scorch the ground:

An animation with Scorch=yes. If it also sets Crater=yes, each occurrence leaves a scorch or a crater with even odds.
A destroyed structure. Each mark it lays is a scorch or a crater with even odds. A structure describes when the marks are laid.

Burn and Crater are independent. A type with both can be picked as a scorch or as a crater. A type with neither is never picked for either, but a map can still place it through its [Smudge] section.
