Adding hose conn. to a truck like the HES.

[timmiej93]

As the title suggests, i'm looking for a way to add a hose connection to a random vehicle.

I'm affraid this ain't gonna be easy.

probably i'll need to add something in the editor and script some extra things, but i have no idea how to.

so please help

[Xplorer4x4]

Its pretty easy imo. On the script side you need to edit:

attachfirehose.script - I think its self explanatory. This will enable your truck to have hose connections.

LARapidDeployment.script - You dont have to edit this one, but I imagine you want rapid deploy to work so edit this.

In the editor, I cant recall exactly how its done, but something along these lines. Edit the children for the object and add the hose connector. This is a bit tricky to line it up right. Then you have to apply a name to the children(hose connectors). Just look at any of the engines on how to do this.

May not be to detailed but i think you can get the concept on your own based on what I said.

[timmiej93]

yeah i looked at the children of enine 7, but i couldnt find them there.

i'll give it a try though.

thnx

[timmiej93]

hmm

how about the water_tender_hose_connections.e4p and fire_engine_hose_connections.e4p files?

is there one needed for the HES too??

and i believe i heard somewhere you need to edit the unit.xml file??

[Xplorer4x4]

Use the edit button.

I wasnt in the editor but i am now so I checked. Click on any of the ALS Engine. Click Edit Children, then go to Edit Childs(its next to cancel and okay buttons). The connectors are in there. The USFS truck is set p a slight bit different, so I would stick with the ALS Engine set up to be safe when doing your new unit.

[billyfromhill]

I think the vehicle has to be a certain type in the editor.

[timmiej93]

i've manage to get them in position and get the scripts to what i think is right.

its 23.15 here now so i'll go to bed and check tomorrow evening, gotta work tomorrow. again

thnx for the advise so far.

[timmiej93]

ok, i managed to get the hose conn's on and they stay in position as long as i dont hit the rapid deploy button. didn't try just connecting i remember now.

But when i do hit the rapid deploy button, this happens:

I know this is a script error, but i just dont know where.

this is the attachthose script.

This is purely a guess, so dont be to surprised if it does not work.

On the USFS Truck the hose connections have a different name then on the engines, and it has 2 connections in the rear and 2 on the side. My guess is the script says if the connectors are labeled(just examples) connection1,connection2, etc, the connectors have to be right next to each other on the sides of the truck. However if there named hconnection1,hconnection2,etc, then connect two on the sides and two in the rear. You can try naming the connectors hconnection1,hconnection2, and this may work. If the USFS Truck connectors on the rear are labeled 3 and 4, then you can try using the same names for the 2 rear connections, but assuming the rear connects on the USFS are 3 and 4, you may get an error if 1 and 2 arent available.

Another option may be to look at the brush truck and see how its done.

Again just guess work.

[timmiej93]

pfff....

I give up

i'll use the truck as a USAR truck then.

thanx
