Hello there,

I have a command script (CmdJasonDispatcher.script) as follows:

Quote

/******************************************************************************************

    Jason's Dispatcher Script

********************************************************************************************/

int DummyGroup = 31;

object CmdJasonDispatcher : CommandScript
{
    CmdJasonDispatcher()
    {
    
        SetCursor("alarm");
        SetIcon("alarm");
        SetGroupID(DummyGroup);
         SetGroupLeader(true);
        SetRestrictions(RESTRICT_SELFEXECUTE);
        
    }

............. rest of code
        
};

My understanding is that the game loads ALL scripts when the mod is loaded. So very confused as to why whenever I try to call it:

Quote

"Error: Symbol CLASS_CmdJasonDispatcher is not defined in current scope"

Any ideas?

Is there anything I can force to run every second?

Only thing I can think of atm is force deploying an invisible object that runs in a loop with a 1 second sleep.

Hello,

I'm trying to expand upon the Miami Mod patrol capability by having units self-direct to incidents. The problem is that I can't seem to identify anything/anyone.

I'm trying:

		GameObjectList list = Game::GetGameObjects();
		for(int i=0; i<list.GetNumObjects(); i++)
		{
			GameObject obj = list.GetObject(i);
						
			/* cars */
			if (obj.GetType()==TYPE_VEHICLE) {
			
				
			
			}
			
			/* people */
			if (obj.GetType()==TYPE_PERSON) {
				
				/* injured? */
				Person prsn(&obj);
				
				if (prsn.IsInjured() || prsn.IsComatose()) {
					Mission::PlayHint("Found an injured person!");
					somethingToDo=true;
				}
				
			}
			
			/* start chase */
			if (somethingToDo) {
				Mission::PlayHint("Found a rescue activity!");
				sendRescue(v,obj);
				break;
			}
			
		}

I was also checking for gangsters, etc., but nothing ever triggers. Any help is appreciated!

1. Unfortunately there is no other way to test. Scripting in Em4 is tedious but ironically a great way to brush up on syntax, and eventually, getting good at sorting logical errors.

2. No you can't force trigger an event. You can only mess with the freeplay_endless.xml to give you a higher possibility of getting the event you want. May the Em4 gods be kind to you.

3. The SDK is here in the German forums. You need an account and I recommend using a translator. https://www.emergency-forum.de/lexicon/index.php?lexicon/659-sdk/

I took it a step further and downloaded all the SDK listings and put them into text files so I have quick reference without needing to login and translate

Thanks for the help.

I downloaded all of the SDK and combined into a single PDF for searching, so that's nice.

Hello there,

I have a few really basic questions:

1. What's the easiest way to edit/reload scripts for testing? Currently I have to completely re-open the game, load mod, start freeplay, get cops into a car and hit a cmd button just to test something. It's extremely time-consuming.

2. Is there any way to force-trigger an event for testing?

3. I can't seem to find an SDK reference anywhere. I don't even see a function list on any sites, despite some links seeming to indicate one exists. Any help?

Thanks a bunch!
