The WindZone script represents an environmental hazard or mechanic that dynamically alters the movement of fire in the game. When the FireEffectMover enters and remains within the zone, it receives a continuous force in a specified direction (windStrength). The zone also plays a sound effect on entry to give audio feedback to the player.
This mechanic adds strategic depth, requiring players to consider wind behavior when drawing fuse paths.

Inherits from: MonoBehaviour
Vector2 windStrengthDefines the directional force applied to any fire within the wind zone. Can be set in the Inspector to simulate wind blowing left, right, up, or down.
AudioClip windZoneAudioClipOptional audio clip played when the fire enters the wind zone.
AudioSource windZoneAudioSourceAudio source used to play the wind effect sound. Automatically assigned via GetComponent<AudioSource>().
void Awake()Initializes internal references. Fetches the AudioSource component from the current GameObject.
void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)Called every frame while a collider remains inside the trigger.
FireEffectMover component.windStrength vector to the fire’s movement.
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)Plays the assigned wind audio clip when a collider first enters the zone.
void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)Logs the exit of the fire object from the wind zone. Currently used for debugging or visual feedback.
GameObject with a 2D collider set as a trigger.AudioSource component.windStrength in the Inspector (e.g., (1, 0) for rightward wind).windZoneAudioClip.// Example wind force
windStrength = new Vector2(-0.5f, 0f); // Pushes fire left
windStrength carefully to avoid excessive push force, which could overpower burn pathing.OnTriggerExit2D for potential future logic like removing wind influence or playing fade-out sounds.
