            if(usr.dir == SOUTH)
                walk(src,SOUTH,1)
                new /obj/fire(usr)
            if(usr.dir == WEST)
                walk(src,WEST,1)
                new /obj/fire(usr)
            if(usr.dir == EAST)
                walk(src,EAST,1)
                new /obj/fire(usr)

sleep (200) //20 seconds
del(fire) //delete the 'fire' obj

how can i make the fire disappear after 20 seconds?


it doesn't compile because everything sfter the line "fire" and before the line shoot() needs to be indented once more

This has nothing to do with your question, but wouldn't it be shorter this way?
walk(src,usr.dir,1)

ok, then it could happen that it moves first east and then when you move west it moves west too...
var/godir=usr.dir
walk(src,godir,1)

obj/fire
 Move()//always when the fire moves  
  ..()
  var/L=new/obj/laser(src.loc)//make a laster
  L:dir=src:dir//to make the laser to a line
  
obj/laser
 New()
  ..()
  sleep(15)
  del(src)

Of course you will need a laser icon...
