Hi all

Quick update - ive managed to get the plane to come in, go to the target then fly out of the map, i just cant get the actual extinguish command to work

updated script is attached if you want to have a look

Is there a way to find the 'base' script so to speak that deals with what happens when you dispatch a vehicle via the dispatch menu?

Regards 

Lowe54

Edit: ive just noticed that the fire planes unit.xml has a 'sendmode="2"' in it, could that be the key to getting a script to work?

Hmm

ive managed to create the plane but all it does is follow the roads, which is kinda amusing

Current script is attached if you want to have a look

Hi all

Quick question, is it possible with scripts to call in the fire plane via a person, instead of using the dispatch menu

Thanks

Lowe54

Have you assigned a number to passengers within the traits part of the prototype within the editor, if that is set to '0' then no personnell would be able to enter

Hope this helps

I dont know whats happening, but i tried another script that dispatches off map vehicles, and its throwing the same error, should I reinstall the game, as i dont know what to do now, the script that i tried is attached

Hi all

I really should make this a 'Help with my scripting issues' thread, as i dont see the point in starting a new one that covers a scripting problem as now i have a new problem, I'm trying to make it so that i can buy personnell from a mobile center, like the FBI command truck in the LA mod, the only trouble is that it gives me a "(VCmd_Mobile_Command_Centre624e9): Warning: Automatic variable const char OBJ_FF[] is allocated", ive checked the script and can find nothing wrong, can anyone help, the script is attached

VCmd_Mobile_Command_Centre.txt

Managed to solve it by changing the second vehicle from 'n' to 'n2' and by putting 'Person' in front of the 'p1'

Thanks for all the help

Lowe54

VCmd_Mobile_Command_Centre.txt

Just double checked the script,, there is nowwhere where 'p1' has been double allocated, a updated version of the script is attached

LACallCrashRescue.txt

I have tried what you suggested, it works for the delays but in regards to the vehicles being stuck I have managed to solve that by creating a second spawn point

Thanks very much

Lowe54

Edit: Im now getting a 'automatic variable p1 is allocated' warning when the vehicle spawns, is this normal?

HI

Just a quick question, as I am currently trying to spawn 2 vehicles that appear from off the map at the same time. At the moment they both spawn but are stuck in each other, I am wondering if there is a way to pause the script that spawns them long enough for one vehicle to move then the other vehicle spawns. It is being used in a private mod.

I have attached the current script as it is

Thanks in advance

All i had added to the hazmat firefighters was the ability to use hoses, apart from that i hadn't done anything

Lowe54

hi,

I have replaced the origional decon vehicle with my own for a personal mod, the only trouble is that the hazmat firefighters cannot enter the vehicle once they are out, and as a result, cannot decontaminate anyone.

I have checked that the vehicle type is set to dekon-p

Along with this, I now get a ctd when i try to dispatch a ladder unit

Edit: Found out what i was doing wrong, forgot to name the childs in the editor

I have attached the logfile

Any help would be appreciated

Lowe54

Edit: I have found that i can decon my own firefighters but not civilians, what could cause this?

logfile.txt

all i have done at the moment is to take the original STW, edited the V3o file to remove the inbuilt lightbar, created a new prototype that uses the edited model file and changed the lights

Hi All

Ive created a private mod, and it loads fine, the trouble comes when I try to load freeplay, it loads, then a instant CTD

Any help would be very much appreciated

I have uploaded the logfile.txt and DxDiag.txt

Thanks

Lowe54

DxDiag.txt

No, you will need to add on the vehicle

Ok, thanks for the reply, it's just that I am making a personal mod and I use the same lightbar for some vehicles, guess it's going to be a long time since I'm making the lights realistic with poly lights

Thanks again

Lowe54

If I was to put lights on a lightbar as it's own object, then attached that object as a child to another object, would it still retain it's lights that I put on it initially?

Thanks in advance

Lowe54

Just tried what you said, it works.

Thanks very much

Lowe54

Just tried what you said, and it worked, thanks. In regards to changing the number of spaces, all you need to do is change the values in

space="1" loadspace="1"

in the vehicles.xml, located in the specs folder.

Two more questions that have popped up.

1. Is it possible to add more Taskforce Names

2. Can you create double flashing strobes

Lowe54

Hi,

First Post for me

At the moment I have created an unmarked vehicle that has been cloned from the civil_Car_Blue prototype. All the textures are assigned and working, but any lights that I assign are not showing up

Can anyone help

Thanks in advance
