Creatures with fire immunity (combine it with super fire immunity) can be probably still set on fire but won't be wounded from it.

Actually, the fire-immune tags prevent you from being set on fire.

You will want to make the materials that you are made of immune to fire. For an example, dragons have this:
Code: [Select]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
[MULTIPLY_VALUE:15]
[COLDDAM_POINT:NONE]
[HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]
[IGNITE_POINT:NONE]
[IF_EXISTS_SET_MELTING_POINT:55000]
[IF_EXISTS_SET_BOILING_POINT:57000]
[SPEC_HEAT:30000]
Need to make sure blood and pus aren't solid at regular temperatures.
[SELECT_MATERIAL:BLOOD]
[PLUS_MATERIAL:PUS]
[MELTING_POINT:10000]

I don't know what really nothing about scripting so can you explain a little more?

It's not scripting, just editing a text file. In your DF folder, open the folder called "raw", then open "objects." Inside are many text files - these are called the "raws." Most DF modding just modifies these files, which can be done in Notepad and with no prior knowledge of coding.

To make dwarves (or whoever you're playing as, humans, elves, etc.) fireproof, open the file named "creature_standard." Find the creature you want to modify - each creature is prefaced by a separate [CREATURE:xx] token. Dwarves are first, then humans, then elves, etc.
Now go to the very bottom of the creature entry and insert the text that BlackFlyme posted. That will make them fireproof (It's also make their body parts worth 15 times as much - you can just remove the line [MULTIPLY_VALUE:15] if you want, but it won't hurt anything).

More info can be found on the wiki: here

I'm sorry, but your dream is impossible. In old versions you could have become a husk and lit yourself on fire, but now fire pulps body parts and kills undead.

Ah, sorry. I should have explained better. The snippet of code I posted should prevent you from taking damage from fire, as it sets your materials' melting and boiling points well above that of even dragon-fire, which is the hottest fire in the game. It also prevents damage from heat and cold, by telling the game that there is no point at which the materials would start to be affected by heat or cold. Though you would want to remove [IGNITE_POINT:NONE] as it would tell the game that there is no point at which your materials would catch fire.

However, I'm not certain how catching fire interacts creatures that cannot take damage from heat in the current version.

Fire will slowly destroy even fire immune materials, that's just the way it is.

My tag thing is actually a joke because both words mean the same thing, non-flammable is the opposite, and [FIREIMMUNE_SUPER] is how to get the full version.

Yeah, neither of those are real tags.

you didn't use a genned world made before you messed with the raws did you?

Because those worlds copy the raws that in the state they were before anything is changed so if you mess with the raws you have to gen a new world for the changes to take effect.

You could make a red glowing heat emitting creature though.
