the area around recently destroyed vehicles contains invisible fire.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

helicopter crash sites gain an area about 5-10 meters square which if entered will damage any player or NPC for no explicable reason. the only possible explanation i have is that there is an automatically created a fire area which was intended to be marked out by fire special effects automatically but the engine will always fail to produce an effect to mark the area, either it fails or there is no actual code to create the fire in the first place. i would greatly appreciate an accurate depiction of the area in which fire is actually present as i am absolutely sure it exists and i have been killed by the effect frequently while playing multiplayer

Steps To Reproduce

destroy a helicopter or find a crashed helicopter with in about a minute of its destruction (as i am unsure when the effect dwindles) and simply go as close to it as you can and you should be damaged by thin air.

Additional Information

this effect disturbs gameplay of any game mode involving vehicles, where if a player simply goes too close to a destroyed heli, they will be inexplicably killed by fire that they just couldn't see.
