You need to make an info_particle_system them make one of the portal fire particles and you have to use a trigger hurt.

Ill have a go in making up a tutorial vmf for you.
i know env_fire doesnt work in TF2, as its restricted by the Orange Box engine, but like john has explained, there is work-arounds, such as egypt_final for example.

ok, just back in from my jog, make a quick vmf for you demonstrating how to make decent-ish fire. this screenshot shows 2 torches. The torch on the right just has an info_particle_system with the particle system keyvalue set as burning torch. The torch on the left has the same as the torch on the right, but has an env_smokestack aswell, to give that bit more realism. this next screenshot shows a standing torch, i have moved the info_particle_system and env_smokestack up a bit, maybe too far, but it was just for testing ect. Trying out different positioning ect. The last one is of the same standing torch, but showing the trigger_hurt in action to simulate being burnt when yo go near the flame 9or in my case, on it lol) finally, vmf of the above setup for you to look at, experiment with ect. It was a quick demo, so you can modify the keyvalues to look better or to more what you want / what suits your map. www.4shared.com/file/126302848/aa5220bf/torch_tutorial.htmlHave fun edit: was just thinking, you could add (maybe) an env_sprite to make it slightly more realistic, but ill leave that down to you
