FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to make entities emit their own light. I'm 99% done with a fire/smoke mod but when I place a fire entity in a node, like a tree trunk, the entity is all black because there is no light shining on it.

Maybe you should try to make node_update_single(pos)?

But shouldn't fire be a node?

I don't want to remove the existing node, but show that it is on fire. I also need the on_step function to spread the fire and to make smoke.
