I have installed explorers 4x4 mod, after playing I want to add the vehicles he disabled. I am able to dispatch the vehicles but their sirens do not work. Is there something else i need to change?

I had the same problem and I found a solution, I went to the other LA Mod script files and copied from that LA Siren script files and had that vehicle and I pasted to the 4x4 LA Mod LA Siren script file. PM me if you have to. As you can see I added the Light Equipment truck and the Water Tender.

Same problem I cloned a LAPD car and edited the lights alittle and it does have a siren. So........................ How do I make it have a siren?

So if I understand this right...

In my custom mod I'm playing with, I am reskinning the Red Cross Hummer to be a Special Response Vehicle for my EMS. I have added lights and the Command in editor already, but for the siren, if I basically edit the LASiren.Script file and wherever I find like AMBULANCE02 I copy that line and add the appropriate changes to reference the E4P file for my Red Cross Hummer, it should have the same sirens as my Ambulance?

I don't want to blow up my mod, and I've NEVER scripted before. Please advise if this sounds right!

yep that's the way to do it:

When in doubt though always save an original copy... I could've lost many custom mods over the past 5 years if it weren't for that

Thanks. Playing with it now. First try didn't work, but I agree on the BACKUPS, prevent big oops! Will keep trying!

You just have to alter the script to your choosing. There are 2 places you must add lines to in order for the siren to work on the red cross hummer. Like you said, create a backup and try this. Should work.

The first spot is at the top where you point the siren towards the prototype. Copy and paste this line underneath the ambulance04 line:

const char PROTO_RC[] = "mod:Prototypes/Vehicles/01 LA Ambulance/hummerh2_rc.e4p";

Now scroll down a little ways until you see this line:

StrCompare(v.GetPrototypeFileName(), PROTO_AMBULANCE04) == 0 ||

Right Below that, copy and paste this line:

StrCompare(v.GetPrototypeFileName(), PROTO_RC) == 0 ||

Save the script, open the game and test it. If it doesn't work, I guess I forgot how to script this game.

That worked! THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH! Not sure what I did wrong, probably a space where there shouldn't have been!
