Adding third Fire Station

[Xplorer4x4]

Hoppah, myself and others have tried to create a third station but we all seem to have problems with the rear gate. Since its your scripts I think your the only one who can figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

[Xplorer4x4]

Would you post your scripts so I can compare and contrast?

As for 98/99 thanks for pointing that out, it was a typo on 99 which explains a problem not related to this

[Xplorer4x4]

The only problem(i think - obviously its hard to say since I cant get it working either ) I see in your lafirestation.script(havent looked at latofirestation, is ChildID == 9 should be a gate command for FS3 but you have it for FS1.

[Xplorer4x4]

I see your point, and in that case you might be right on that. From what I can see your latofirestation might be right but I would check line 788 where it says:

DUMMY_GATES, Caller, 9

And verify it refer to the right child id in lafirestation.

Other then that, no idea. I think we will have to wait on Hoppah unless ShaneGreen finds a fix.

Xplorer,

A couple of months ago I was changing around the LA Mod for a personal mod and was able to get a third station functioning properly. In the interest of assisting more experienced modders then myself, If you want to PM me your email address, I'd be happy to send you what I had for reference.

[JimmyKid]

Yeah, I like the idea of a third FS. If anyone gets theis done, can someone tell me how?

[Xplorer4x4]

I am still working on this but I have a 3rd station in my WIP Mod. So far it works, but it only works some of the time.

[Texas_DPS]

i bet if you seperate the stations they would work correctly, just a opinion. been trying and ill let you know how it goes.

[Xplorer4x4]

Yeah thats not a bad idea. I mean I planned to split them up one of these days, but might jump on that latter on.

[ChrisGa]

got a question is there a way to expand FS2 ? I dont see a need for another fire station but I would like to add a few more bays on with FS2.

[Texas_DPS]

i have a working third station. i just need to fine tune the returnto script. i have mine integrated with the firestation and firestation start scripts. i can call units into all 3 stations, in the begining they all rais the front doors and sound alarm to man units, they also have a working show/hide roof as well as units returning to station get out and go inside. just needs some fine tunes.

could you actually show us a video or some screens?

i'm really looking forward to seeing this.

maybe you could release it as an submod?!

if you ask, i am happy to show. I have been working on something a little different and old school. the three stations work, mostly. when the freeplay starts all 11 front gates open, spawn vehicles and staff vehicles. i am having a little problem with the tofs script but i have only really been hitting it hard maybe 5 days. it took about 3 days to get most of the problems and the fs and fs start scripts right. i had thought about breaking the fs return script into 3 seperate scripts but i was trying to be stuperman and make them all one. still toying with that idea.

for all you non believers (there always is) i left the map open for the screen shots.

(Xplorer hit me up and ill shoot you the files to check them out)

[ChrisGa]

nice looking stations texas. I got a question. Im running the la mod map how do I change to the map you have ( the original em4 map )??

[Texas_DPS]

you just need to install the mod without the new map, and when you update it make sure you dont check the update for the new map.

ok thank you. I will try that now. Do you know if I will still be able to play my xplorer4x4 with ysb submod with this new map?? And would I be able to make a back up of my current copy and when the new changes made just paste it back in and it work?

[Station27]

The NY SUBMOD v2.3b (The Christmas One) has successfully added a third fire station the only issue is that Rescue 1 cannot leave the station and the ambulance cannot re enter the station.

[Texas_DPS]

if it works then why cant rescue 1 not dispatch? i am having problems but 90% of them are the return to. and not really the return to but more of the dummy check, dont park right or i get the "doesnt belong" error.

[griffy]

how is the third station coming along

[Texas_DPS]

rather nicely mater of fact. i like how it runs. i have made a lot of changes to a lot of scripts that i have to work with. you will see the result hopefully here in a few weeks with my OMO first release. and after that hopefully i can get two more smaller stations (im trying to learn zmod) and then I can have 4.

[griffy]

awesome i hate zmod though for modeling i use google sketchup i use zmod for uv map (which i still havent figured out how to to yet) and conversion

[DeHe]

Hi I would like to add units (not new created ones) in the LA map.And I'm going to try including a third FS.I've made virtual points for them and give them names.It's my very first time with scripting and using the editor.Could someone tell me please what scripts I've to change or is there any tutorial?I will search myself too.

[griffy]

how is this coming along texas (or xplorer who ever responds first) id like this for something im working on currently

[MikeyPI]

It is theoretically possible to add more stations, the only problem is that the LA mod script it's self needs to be "leaned" down, it is a bit more complicated than it really should be unfortunately... Because of this depending on what all else a mod has going on, along with the comp specs playing with it, chances are the script it's self will be prone to failure as it was originally written because of how EM4 handles the script mechanism.... It might work but there is alotta script that is not totally required, perhaps try a third station without having dual doors? it might work easier than the double door setup the LA mod came with where the things are front/back.
