The Loot

It will also probably mess up things in LAFireStation and LAToFireStation. I've never fooled around with the gates so I'm not sure what to do other than restore the way it was before.

Why isn't the modder able to include those two Corona files in his mod folder from the beginning?

Because they might not be allowed to?

The white squares will also be gone if you include the coronas in your modfolder in the right directionary.

Never worked for me.

Instead they tell you to change your main game files. Rule nr.1 never change your main game files without backup.

In this case, these are NEW files, as far as I remember.

Beauts, especially the new Charger.

K9 is now a white Explorer, eh?

Adjust the Hazmat vehicles "unit.xml" file to change who can be in it.

The "entercar" script will also need to be edited.

So just: 

v.EnableTrafficLight(TLT_GREEN);

?

I'd suggest going back to the original way, and then adding the ChangePrototype line in the appropriate places. Other than the invisible firehose, I've never run in to any issues.

No, it works out.

PM places wye. PM hidden, new PM created.

EMT removes wye.  Hidden PM changed to EMT and un-hidden, EMT deleted.

• 4 Initial Paramedics and EMTs (4/4).
• 1 Paramedic Created (5/4), but hidden.
• 1 hidden Paramedic changed to EMT (4/5), but 1 EMT deleted immediately (4/4).

n->ChangePrototype(p.GetPrototypeFileName());

That's the line you need to add, usually just before a line like:

n->ClearFlag(OF_HIDDEN);

Scripts that will need it: Wye and Hose Exension scripts, and Attach Firehose.

This is a bug in the water supply script. All mods using the script have this issue. Montana does, my LA Mod does, this mod does. Can't be fixed unfortunately.

Actually, it just takes one line to fix the switch;. the only issue is that the firehose turns invisible for some reason. I can post later when I get to my main system after work.

Are you crazy... Announcing it will jinx it lol jk good luck, looking forward to playing the mod and THVFD the ladder looks good, its nice to see a new model being made.

But jinxing it on a Friday the 13th is a double jinx, and will then turn into good luck... or something.

towtruck.v3o is the unloaded version of the truck

towtruck2.v3o is the loaded version of the truck

there should be only one prototype file for this to work.. there does not need to be a second prototype for the loaded version, the game automatically goes to the loaded model.

towtruck.e4p

 

Make sure that your loaded/unloaded are in the same folder and named correctly and both are present as intended.

Vehicle type must be ASF

So that's how they work. Since the LA mod always had a loaded prototype, I expected it to just swap those out, but when I was setting restrictions regarding the loaded proto, they never worked, and that explains it.

Hope this is what you are looking for.  This is the BombRobot Script

Looks like your vehicle checks were a little off with an errant parenthesis. I went ahead and fixed both lines of those, and I also added constants with the prototype filepaths and pointed them to those, which will make it easier to change the prototype files if you need to in the future.

Hopefully that will do it for the issue.

If you want a really strange but rather uncommon project to do (some police did use these things) you could always try your luck at a Whelen Fast Trax lighting system, I personally found them to be extremely ugly, but I'm sure some people would like the things.

I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

Previously, I had stated (as above) that when I added a 2nd Bomb Squad Unit if I tried to get the robot, it caused an error. 

This is the error I get.  Happens if I click with the Bomb Defusal officer on the vehicle.  If I hit Ignore, I can go back to game.  But no matter what, I cannot get the robot out of either the original vehicle, or the new vehicle.

Can you post that script real quick? It should be a very simple fix but I'd have to take a look to see exactly how it is.

Easy enough but time intensive. Just clone an existing lightbar, change the file name, change the model to a new one, and rename the proto. Repeat as needed.

I was trying to mess around with tow trucks and never seemed to get my changes working. It appears that the LA mod didn't touch the script in question, "loadup", since it only exists in the base game's scripts.

Go ahead and copy it over onto the LA command script folder, then take a look at the "CheckTarget" section. The lines under "if (Target->GetType() == ACTOR_VEHICLE)" control if a targeted vehicle can be chosen. I'm not entirely sure, but it could be the "if (!v.IsParking()) return false;" that stops you from picking up active traffic vehicles.

Got any info on this vehicle? Is this used by SWAT or normal police?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcDjEckzDeU#t=194

And yes, I want to make it. PD units have not been forgotten.

The White Suburbans? I'd probably guess SWAT, but it could serve as any sort of UC vehicle.

Or do you mean the Command truck seen there? The "Mobile Sub-stations" seem to be used as mini police stations in problem areas, or at major incidents.

The issue with Gated Wye is that is has an invisible man on it. If he gets injured, then you can't pick it up. This was an issue the LA mod dealt with too. I don't recall if a solution was ever created

Wouldn't setting very high resistances to all forms of injury work?

Like:

p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_CONTAM_ATOM, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_CONTAM_CHEM, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_CONTAM_BIO, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_DROWN, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_ENERGY, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_FIRE, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_SHOT, 100000.0f);p.SetResistance(INJUREREASON_UNKNOWN, 100000.0f);

Sorry if the answer is really obvious, but I've spent the past hour looking for the "LA Police Upgrade Mod" mentioned in the readme and haven't found it. Could someone tell me what to search or give me a link? Would be really appreciated as these models look amazing. Plus I really want to equip my police force with the new Ford Interceptors.

Here.

Then don't play it. Tillers hardly work in this game anyways. It's up to the creators as to what vehicles they put into the game.

Then you won't be playing it, does not hurt our feelings sorry to break it to you.

Methinks it was in jest...

Let me ask you something, why did you put the LAX-units (ambulance and airport tanker) in the mod? I mean they aren't bad but it doesn't really make sense since there is no airport on the map.

There are several missions that take place at an airport in the game and the LA mod. While freeplay may not have an airport, those units aren't completely out of place.

is you see  where you buy car's is grayed out

The icons are greyed out because the call menu is disabled. You have to use the call scripts assigned to people in order to call units.

Dats alotta stuff...

Fantastic! Was only a matter of time till something peeked out to give us a look, and it's a good look.

They are for use in the la mod

From what I gather, Loot, is that he isn't going to allow someone to use his LA Mod vehicles for their mods.  I may be reading it wrong myself.

As I said, it's worded confusingly if that's the case. Still, "you can't use these at all in any situation" is not what I expect itchboy to mean, so I was just looking for clarification.
