rettungstier Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 hey there!first up, freeplay events always happen randomly!fires for example don't need any special object names in the editor.same thing for medical calls. as long as you got some civil persons on the map you'll receive ems calls.car accidents...crashed cars:- place some car wrecks (like 2 or 3 cars that are involved); these can be found under scene/objects/wrecks- select one of the cars and klick on properties in the taskbar- type in "ccar_1" as object name- klick "ok" to save those changes- select another car- open properties again and type in "ccard_1" or "ccar_1" (again)- repeat this for every other cardebris:- place some debris round the crash scene/cars like glass; can be found under scene/objects/debris(- if you wanna place skidmarks don't be surprised that you can't see them! just hold down ALT button and move mouse up (forward) until it appears)- select one debris object- open properties from the taskbar again- type in "ccard_1" as object name- repeat this for every debris objectpatients:- place some civil persons that will be the "victims"- select one civilian- open properties from the taskbar- type in "ccarp_1" as object name; if you got more than one injured person type in "ccarp_1_a" for this first one- repeat this for every other person involved whereby your next object names would be "ccarp_1_b", "ccarp_1_c", etc..- (still in properties window) you can change the persons animation in the menu below the line object name- select for example"layingwounded" to make the person lay on the ground- (still in properties window) select "edit traits"- here you can change the health status of the person, just lower the this value- confirm your selections by klicking "ok" againplacing an injured person inside a vehicle:- actually place the injured person somewhere near the crashed vehicle (this is where the patient will lay once rescued from fire fighters)- select the vehicle and open properties- select "edit traits" - select "person enclosed"; here you can edit which person should be in the car- also check if the boxes for "transportable with ASF" and "sliceable" are selected; if not, do so- confirm your selections- repeat for every other vehicle with a person enclosedbasic rules:ccar_x; ccard_x; ccarp_x_y generally stands for:c... = crashed...car... = car (of course)...d... = debris...p... = patient_x = number of car accident on the map (needs to be the same for all object on one scene!); accident one = _1, accident two = _2_y = letters from a to z for every patient of one car accident; patient one of accident one = ccarp_1_a, patient two of accident one = ccarp_1_bdemonstration...- select a building in front of which the demonstration should take place- open properties from the taskbar- change the object name to "demotarget_x" (rules for the value of x -> see car accident)- confirm your changes- create a virtual object on front of the building and name it "demoarea_x"bomb...- place an object that should be the bomb (for example the bomb model from scene/objects)- select the object- open properties from the taskbar- change the object name to "bomb"- confirm your changesgas explosion...- place the gas explosion object; can be found under scene/objects/misc/GASEXPLOSION- select the object- open properties from the taskbar- change the object name to "gasexplosion"- confirm your changesthat's it for now!!hope you can use all this greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rettungstier Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nice to hear!I'm thinking about adding some other things.Maybe I'll open up another topic and post all my tutorials as *.pdf there.Anybody interested?greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Definitely yes. You could post tutorials in the modding section and it might allow more people to start modding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach1019 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 One question....How do you add medical events like Heart Attack, Fallen Person, etc. Also how do I add them in to buildings or on a floor of a building so that a ladder has to get to the person?

Guest e34p Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I would also like to know how to add fires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingairway Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Question for you kind sir, My CCAR_(#) just appears at the start of game? what am i doing wrong? do I need to select something special? my CCARD and CCARP are hidden of course but the main vehicle doesnt show? anyone have an idea how to make it the trigger vehicle but not appear at start of game so it actually is a triggered event!

The Loot Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Sometimes that happens with certain prototypes, it seems. Try switching it out for another vehicle, and if that fails, double check names and properties of all the objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Loot Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 As long as the traffic accident event is enabled, they should show up. The only thing is that the game will randomly choose between accidents when that event comes up, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
